Public bug reported: I have regular flickering screens (xinerama re-initialises them) in a dual-screen setup under gnome-2d, as can be seen in .xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log. Sometimes metacity crashes then, as it was the case recently, when I had verbose logging-mode on.
Last 1000 lines of the log before the crash are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373239/ Line 764 looks to me like the reconfiguration due to a 'flicker'. Console output of metacity (started from there with METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity --replace) metacity:ERROR:core/boxes.c:1165:meta_rectangle_edge_aligns: code should not be reached and there is /var/crash/_usr_bin_metacity.1000.crash which I will attach. I do not know, if the two problems are really related (metacity crash, xinerama re-init), but it looked like (happened at the same time). Any debugging hints to find the reason for the xinerama re-init are welcome. Sometimes it is impossible to work due to high frequency of re-inits.
