I don't see how I pointed out that anything has been addressed, but that's alright. I don't know if xawtv and tvtime have their own BTS, but I think you should suggest to them that they implement a way to lock the window's aspect ratio, as well as file a bug upstream for metacity as I mentioned earlier (the one you filed as another bug here).
