[Bug 861408] [NEW] Metacity hangs and consumes 100% CPU

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using ubuntu 11.04 i386 with proprietary nVidia drivers.
metacity package has version 2.30.3-0ubuntu8
Compositing is disabled.

Sometimes (~once a week) metacity stops responding and starts consuming 100% CPU. Usually it happens when I close a window. After it all windows become unusable.
Running metacity-message restart has no effect. If I kill metacity process the whole X-session terminates and gdm appears.

** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
