metacity gets confused about which window to move

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

Using metacity on gnome in lucid:

 Steps to reproduce:
  Before everything, make sure you turn of compiz (desktop effects).
  1) Open a terminal
  2) Maximize it
  3) Open another terminal, overlaying on top of the first one
  4) Try to grab the title bar of the second terminal, and you'll see the grabbing cursor falls through onto the first window
  5) Move your mouse, you'll see the first window is de-maximized, and moves with your cursor.
  6) This may not be reproducable on other computers, but is pretty deterministic on the desktop where it appears

This seems to be the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533066.

I'll do some more checking here to see about it.

I'm not sure how to indicate this correctly, but this seems to be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599181

I can reproduce it here no problem.

Fabio, are you sure you tested with System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects set to "None"?
