Another update... though the metacity bug as solved, One that was
present and I did not play much attention to, still bugs the system in
GNOME: The close session panel will not come up, the system will "hang"
whenever I press the log-out button.
This issue was already asked in the main fedora-list, but I wonder if
the solution found there still applies in this case.
