I tested this and recompiled compiz in a clean pbuilder chroot with the
latest metacity and everything is fine again.

So a simple BinNMU of compiz should really resolve this problem for now.

And I think compiz-gtk needs a stricter dependency on the exact metacity
version it was compiled with since it uses some internal symbols and has
to stay locked to that specific version.
