[Bug 47307] Lots of windows needing Force Quit can hang metacity

[Brian Brunswick]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: metacity

I've got an application I've written which currently often gets
deadlocked and ignoring window close, so causing the force quit dialog
from metacity.

In the situation of having lots of these open, and perhaps clicking quickly on lots of their close boxes it seems to be possible to get
metacity to a state where it no longer changes window focus or rearranges windows, neither on mouse movement or clicking. (I have it on focus follows mouse mode)

Running another metacity --replace from a text console appears to still
be broken, but running fvwm -replace and then back to metacity recovers
to a working state.

** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
