Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
0. disable desktop effects (so that metacity is in charge, not compiz)
1. set the virtual desktop layout to be a grid of 4x5, total of 20 desktops,
2. save settings
3. try to switch to another desktop and see metacity die
4. log out
5. log in and see the whole gnome session being affected, to the point
of gnome-panel not starting, sometimes even nautilus not starting.
6. try to run nautilus, navigate to /usr/bin and launch
gnome-appearance-properties (or whatever)
7. re-enable desktop effects
8. set the virtual desktop layout to be a grid of 4x4, total of 16 desktops,
9. re-disable desktop effects
10. watch everything work like a charm
This bug appears to be fairly reproducible, as metacity breaks the same
in debian sid over NX as in local ubuntu with effects disabled.
