Stephane, you should file a new bug using “ubuntu-bug
/var/crash/_usr_bin_metacity.1000.crash” command (or whatever path to
.crash file is), attaching the crash file to existing bug does not help.
Also, we do not always have resources for supporting old Ubuntu
versions. Please upgrade to 18.04
I was just hit again with it today, with metacity 1:3.18.7-0ubuntu0.3 on
16.04.
Here is the crash dump.

1) `metacity --replace` "disconnects" it from gnome-session. So next
time it crash, gnome-session does not see it as crash in required
component. It only logs out if required components crashes.
2) Is this still problem in 16.04 with metacity 1:3.18.4-0ubuntu0.1?
Please try to get new stacktrace.
I upgraded to older version 3.18.1-1ubuntu3, and relaunched metacity
using "metacity --replace", and now I have metacity crashes, but they
don't log me out.
Just wondering if the fact I "replaced" metacity while logged in untied
it from gnome-session.

After upgrading to xenial, by laptop is crashing every few hours or so.
dmesg says metacity crashed, and then I get logged off with all
applications closed.

It's hard to reproduce "at will". I personally run Firefox, Thunderbird,
Chrome, gedit, gjiten, skype, pidgin, Gnome Terminal, and always have
something like 20 windows open at a time on my main workspace.
Of note :
- When alt tabbing between windows, sometimes surfaces flash to black for one
Same issue here. I've been also able to trigger it while doing alt+tab.
I also lose my entire session when this happens. It doesn't happen
always but after some hours of work. I don't detect anything special
when system crashes... sorry =(

Subbing to this bug even though the direct cause is not the same; with metacity
crashing now, my entire session is being lost!
I’ve been able to trigger it while alt-tabbing like the OP, closing windows,
and generally interacting with the window manager while a 3d game is open or
VLC has been

Metacity does not use compiz configuration...
Do you use metacity alt+tab popup with icons only or with window thumbnails?
What output is from this command:
gsettings get org.gnome.metacity alt-tab-thumbnails
Ok, let me know if metacity still crashes with 3.18.1 packages from
ubuntu 16.04.

"It seems to crash when I switch windows (alt+tab ; even falling back to

What do you mean with falling back to the static application switcher?
Can you try to download and install metacity 3.18.1 packages:
Initially, I thought the crash was linked to what was implementing the
window switching (with the Compiz configuration tool, one can select
several ways to switch windows, including the Static Application
Switcher, which only shows icons of the application instead of the
contents of the window ;
About the packages, I am still using 15.04 Vivid (which means metacity
3.14), and it seems metacity and gtk+-3.0 will require a ton of
dependencies (glib, pango, atk, etc...), so I can't test these right
away.
Here is what I get :
$ gsettings get org.gnome.metacity alt-tab-thumbnails
No such key
I just had again the same crash. :
Dec 30 23:49:59 archer gnome-session[28277]: Window manager warning: Log level
6: The program 'metacity' received an X Window System error.
Dec 30 23:49:59 archer gnome-session[28277]: This probably reflects a bug in
the program.
Dec 30 23:49:59 archer
The crash is still happening no matter what I update.
The fact it comes after somewhat intensive use (one week, two weeks of not
rebooting) and when doing Alt+Tab repeatedly in succession hints maybe at
memory leaks? Again, right before the crashes, artifacts of the application
switcher windows
Does it crash randomly? Or maybe crash occurs when you launch use
specific applications?
>From your description it looks like you launch something that crashes
metacity. Then gnome-session tries to restart metacity, but metacity
crash again and again (because of launched application?).

Sorry, forgot to specify this : the Alt+Tab crash is indeed seemingly random.
At one point after one day or two of running, Alt+Tab will start leaving
refresh artifacts (parts of another window that I was browsing while switching)
and eventually just outright freeze and crash.

It seems to crash when I switch windows (alt+tab ; even falling back to
the static application switcher does not alleviate the bug).
For reference, I do a lot of translation work, which requires me to have
gedit, mplayer, evince running at the same time and heavily switching
between these.
