Version is Metacity 3.18.5. However, I can't reproduce the bug, which occured about 36 hours ago. The apt logs do not show any update for Metacity since. All effects mentioned are gone, Metacity behaves as of it's Ubuntu 14.04 pendant some days ago: Desktop icons are on the desktop, Kupfer opens in front of all windows.
This matches the behaviour of the other bug linked, which is also rarely triggered. Maybe it was triggered by running nemo late (nemo wasn't started with the session as usual due to unknown reason). I will use Metacity for daily routine now, we'll see if it happens again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614050 Title: Window depth order messed up Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using the gome-flashback session with metacity is totally messed up since I updated from Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 16.04.1. All the effects mentioned here do not appear when using compiz, so I guess Metacity is broken. -Windows that should open in front (like Kupfer) appear behind the windows already open. -Before nemo is run, the Ubuntu default desktop background image appear, it can't be changed by settings. I just guess this is due wrong ordering of the true background and some window used by Gnome for showing the selected background. -If nemo is run to take over the desktop, the destkop icons appear in front of all windows. I guess all those effects originate from a similiar reason. None of these problems where appearant at Ubuntu 14.04. This is a total show stopper for using metacity on 16.04 as everyday applications like nemo and Kupfer can't be used.
