Details

Updated metacity packages that fix a bug are now available.

Metacity is a simple window manager that integrates nicely with GNOME 2.

In certain situations, trying to close an application would cause said
application to hang with a spurious "The window is not responding" dialog
box. At this stage, users could either force the application to quit, or
cancel the close operation. This issue affected gnome-terminal, but may
have affected other applications.

Users of metacity are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
