I suggest trying a different metacity version, 2.4.13 is very bad in my experience. I downgraded to 2.4.8-4 for now. As for GTK, I also got the impression that 2.2 is slightly slower sometimes, I think in part due to better layout (e.g. the tasklist group menu is never partly offscreen now). -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
