Stopped it this time by running compiz --replace & several times,
followed by killall -v metacity several times.  And by several, I mean
twenty or so, in rapid succession.  Something is continually spawning
metacity processes and a single issuance of killall -v metacity or
compiz --replace is not resolving it.

This remains a major issue for me:
A) It puts unnecessary strain on my disk
B) It cranks my processor temperature up, which in turn causes the fan to work overtime to keep the machine from overheating and dying.
C) I have to stop whatever I'm doing and scramble frantically, in the dark, to fix it whenever it happens because of A and B.

This should really not be marked as "Low" importance.
