Grondr, thank you for your in-depth and exhaustive analysis. It will prove to be very valuable. I have marked this report as "Confirmed" for metacity, and I hope that will help capture the attention of the metacity maintainers.
I think you have a much better handle on what is going on than I do, and doubt I would be able to do a proper summary of the issue. If you are willing, could you please update the description above with a summary of: symptoms, diagnosis/causes, and possible work-arounds. Usually, when I revise a description, I set those things as subsections with headers like so: === Symptoms === ....... === Diagnosis === .... === Work-arounds === .... Bug reports that are nicely formatted like this are more likely to be dealt with by maintainers. I hope this helps get their attention and that they then can resolve this issue for you. -- System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
