"Since the OP action was voluntary, we should not have re-subscribed"
I'll be mindful of that in the future.

It's not important that the OP receive this message, but I cannot myself
unsubscribe him.

"it is difficult to say if it is the same bug or not."
To make my reasoning more explicit, removing either #3 or #4 in 
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73496243/metacity.gdb (bug 797098) seems to make 
the symbolic function names line up with 
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/72993752/Stacktrace.txt (this bug) where they 
exist, and line up with the library binaries that contain them everywhere else. 
Specifically, it looks like in both bugs, whatever is going wrong seems to 
occur (or crystallize into full fruition) in _XReadEvents (it's from there that 
error handling functions seem to begin to be called). It seems to me that the 
x_error_handler self-call (from #4 to #3) might be optimized out for some cases 
(that is, the library might be built with that function implemented as two or 
more separate code paths as an optimization), producing two steps in that 
function in some traces and just one in others, though I have not examined the 
source to determine how plausible this is. However, I understand that, 
technically, there's insufficient information to determine if they're the same 
bug; in spite of the notable _XReadEvents similarity, this could be a different 
bug that looks similar.
