Binary package hint: metacity

PROBLEM

Whenever OpenOffice or Firefox is launched, metacity crashes and leves desktop unusable (apart from panel, other apps not "focusable")

OBSERVATIONS

When metacity is invoked from VT with:
DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace
and then firefox is started in X, this is printed to stderr from metacity:
