I didn't notice before but the small string "(Social bro)" is actually
the file name. I would suggest to make the buffer for this string bigger
so the whole program name is visible and additionally also show the
filename of the application.

I am also seeing a lot of these message in ~/.xsession-errors

Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a 
timestamp of 0 for 0x2c000d1 (Mozilla Fi)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 
timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  
  running compiz --replace as trying to debug an issue with lucid Beta 2 and I 
get the following output -

  Window manager warning: last_user_time (1271002643) is greater than 
comparison timestamp (799652). This most likely represents a buggy client 
sending inaccurate timestamps in messages such as _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW. Trying to 
work around...
  Window manager warning: 0x4600028 (Social bro) appears to be one of the 
offending windows with a timestamp of 1271002643. Working around...
  Window manager warning: Received a _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message for 0x4600028 
(Social bro); these messages lack timestamps and therefore suck.

  while the error output is helpful surely a user seeing "these messages
  lack timestamps and therefore suck." is not at all helpful and should
  have a more appropriate error message displayed
