And indeed we see in the stack trace:

#12 0x00007fc81b7c18dd in _gdk_pixmap_new (drawable=0x134c5a0,
width=564, height=65535, depth=24)

even though the log message says that 65535 should still just barely
fit, it does seem like a bug.

No part of the stack trace goes through metacity here, it seems to be an
internal repaint operation in GTK 2 (gdk_window_update_idle()).

Chris just pointed out that I'm seeing a different crash than the
original reporter here. Unfortunately for the dupe checker they are
indistinguishable. However, I'm investigating the one I see for now, as
it's the one I can reliably reproduce.

Note that it won't make much sense to report this upstream. Both GTK 2
and metacity are obsolete and unmaintained, and for 12.04 we ought to
find another window manager  for unity 2D.
