It seems to crash when I switch windows (alt+tab ; even falling back to the static application switcher does not alleviate the bug).
For reference, I do a lot of translation work, which requires me to have gedit, mplayer, evince running at the same time and heavily switching between these. (Especially mplayer/evince probably take a lot of memory). When metacity crashes, everything freezes while apport runs and writes its files, during which only the audio players and non graphical stuff keep running (if I am lucky I can SSH and force gedit to save my work), and once apport finishes, in a split second, every window just loses its decorations, and I am forced back to the login screen.
