OK, that's a reason, although at least Marco Bravi has this problem,
too.

Another "OK", I tested the current version from unstable, 2.18.5-1.
Unfortunately, the problem still exists.

Well, of course you're right when the severity depends on the amount
of systems affected. But *if* your system is affected, it *is* a
grave problem, since it's just impossible to save data, close
applications etc. when this bug occurs, but you need to restart the
whole system. (Although, in the first few seconds after clicking
"close", you can still switch to a VT and kill metacity and
metacity-dialog).

Greetings,

Claudius
