I think I am using compiz as my window manager (wobbly windows and
stuff). When doing "metacity --replace" xterm does not move anymore
when clicking the titel bar.
This should not be a problem with xterm, because the same happens with
other legacy X11-programs (xclock, xfontconfig). The simplest piece
of software exhibiting the problem is xmessage. The issue must be
with the interaction between one of the libraries xmessage binds and
compiz
