couple of days without troubles, while previously

I'm also affected by this bug. When will the ubuntu archive include the fix?
Can I download/install the fix without having to wait for metacity 3.18.4 to be
officially released in Ubuntu archives?
Thanks

I've installed it, but it's not convenient today to logout to restart
metacity.
Note that the problem with the undisplayable firefox window is probably
a separate bug. I think it relates to a similar problem: I keep an xcb
window at the bottom of the left screen. It has started vanishing off-

I moved aside the file it was complaining about, which I just mentioned,
so I could attach it here. However, by the end of this report, it had
been removed by the package system. I had done this, thinking kit would
keep it safe:
# mv /var/lib/apt/lists/au.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-

Title:
metacity (flashback) crashes
Hmm, that was weird: similarly to comment #4, I just noticed a Firefox
window lose all its decorations, so to hide it I had to use its icon in

I just thought I'd mention it.

Title:
metacity (flashback) crashes and forces logout
I'm just reporting in that since upgrading metacity using Alberts' PPA,
I have not experienced a further crash. The nearest I came was a screen-
lock which I'm pretty sure I accidentally triggered via a Ctrl+Shift+L.

+ Metacity can segfault in several cases. It is a regression introduced by

may make it crashing. Perhaps doing more WM-related operations
Okay, I've done that. I'll log out and back in again.
Actually, I rebooted, as I saw there was a kernel update I hadn't

the HDMI display before it would

Possibly-related: I currently have one Firefox window (only: of 14 FF
windows) that spontaneously lost its canvas management area - all the
outside bits that have the icons to close it, minimise it, resize it
