With trunk it causes Metacity to crash (it may well have done in earlier situations too, since the session manager sees Metacity going down and brings up another one, so crashes can be invisible). This is not a happy situation. I'm escalating. Expect some kind of patch by tonight, I hope. --

Metacity won't fix this because: 1) it's not a window manager issue; applications ought to be responsible enough to create their windows where they want them; 2) it violates separation of concerns; there can be a separate process (such as devilspie) which moves a user's windows around to their
