Bug Description
The page below contains sexually explicit images, so be warned.
It makes firefox/metacity choke, which really affects other apps, too.
Reproducable with the breezy pre-release live-cd as well.
This could be seen as a children protection mechanism, but it's probably just a
bug.

I have reproduced this. The effect is quite startling. The firefox window
starts appearing and disappearing, apparently as metacity stops and restarts
(perhaps it is crashing repeatedly?), and marches down the screen and to the
right. Then it stops leaving you with no wm.
This happens even with Javascript turned right off. I didn't even know this was
possible.
As the submitter says, the site is really quite unpleasant in approach and
contains excessively gynaecological image(s).
