Title:
  The window manager controls do not resposnd

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  I have several symptoms with ubuntu 9.10 which I believe to be the
  same issue.

  1. I can no longer use the Minimize, Maximize, or Close buttons, or
  move a window. The window bar just doesn't respond to being clicked
  on.

  2. Alt+Tab will not switch between windows nor will clicking them with
  the mouse, and the Panel buttons wont work when I have other programs
  open.

  3. All the icons have disappeared from the notification area including
  the network connection manager which is preventing me from connecting
  to the internet.

  It worked fine one day, the next i switched on my computer, inserted a dvd rom, browsed through it, and opened a txt file. Next I opened a the console from the panel menu.  when I tried to switch back to Gedit it would not gain focus. 
  I tried rebooting the computer and I went from having symptoms 1 and 2 to also having symptom 3.
  If I use the Indicator applet to switch to a guest session then every thing works fine. 

  I assume metacity is the problem, I can't think of anything else it might be.
