  I downgraded metacity to the original Severn version (2.4.55-5) and upon
restarting X the problem was gone.  Then I upgraded back to metacity-2.5.3-3,
restarted X, and it came back.  So the problem is almost definitely with
metacity.  Also, the build date for the new version (Sept. 4) suggests that
the problem started the first time I restarted X after downloading this
package.  I filed this in bugzilla (#104373).
