1) `metacity --replace` "disconnects" it from gnome-session. So next
time it crash, gnome-session does not see it as crash in required
component. It only logs out if required components crashes.
2) Is this still problem in 16.04 with metacity 1:3.18.4-0ubuntu0.1?
Please try to get new stacktrace.

Title:
metacity crashed with signal 5 in _XEventsQueued() ; forcing gnome
session to logout
Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This bug seemed to occur already since earlier versions of Ubuntu, and
usually would just end up leaving me with undecorated windows, from
which recovery was as easy as restarting metacity by hand, but in this
release of Ubuntu (15.04), it seems gnome-session tries to restart it
too many times in a too short span, and then decides arbitrarily that
it failed so bad it has to kill the whole session.
So, while the metacity bug is really a thing, my real problem actually might
be a gnome-session-bin bug.
I expect metacity crashing would not bring down the whole session, as is the
case currently.
At any rate, this is extremely annoying, I am hitting this bug about
every two days, and because of it and the regression in crash
handling, I end up losing all my windows and running programs. (In all
fairness, I am suspecting a hardware issue, but the problem remains
that a sub process dying should not cause the parent process to die
like this)
