I applied the patch #778727 on ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.

It does fix the memory leak problem (metacity used to consume ~4GB of mem while 
with the patch never exceeds 5MB).
However, it introduces a new problem. Alt-tab functionality to switch between 
processes is now broken.
Every time I press Alt-tab it seems as if it redraws the windows and leaves me 
in the same one.

Interestingly, if I have two terminals and press alt-tab continuously
the terminals are moving downwards.

-Regards
