Thanks for the report, confirmed, only reproducible with the effects enabled (ie: drop shadow).

could you try if that's still an issue in oneiric or precise?

Works for me (gnome-utils 3.2.1-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric).
This is still an issue with compiz and mutter but I think those are separate bugs. AFAIK the compiz issue is not going to be fixed upstream while the mutter one is being worked on.

Looking more carefully at tha bug description it does not seem to be metacity-only since compiz also uses metacity themes.
Indeed this is still an issue with the default window manager (compiz) and I can't find a bug more specific to it.
