Bug description:
  This began when I upgraded to 16.10, it always happens when using Gimp
  under Gnome-flashback. Occasionally it happens with other apps too.

  The quickest way to reproduce is to open up an image in Gimp, select
  all, copy and then exit. That's when Metacity crashes.

  The bad part is, if I don't run 'metacity --replace' before launching
  gimp, it causes the entire session to quit and go back to the login
  screen. (I know why it does that, but there should be some better
  error handling there so people don't lose their work or any other in
  progress things, at least with just metactity crashed there's a way of
  restarting metacity and keeping the current session, as well as the
  ability to save work in other applications before restarting)
