Well. I *like* metacity, but I thought I'd try to change it to sawfish just to see if it still works. Sawfish is already installed as part of an "@ Everything" install of FC2-test3, so I thought I would try this one liner:
$ killall -v metacity && sawfish
What do you know, it worked.
Indeed, but a version supplied does not really work with a pango font selection. It is true that this is the last "official release" but this was fixed quite a while ago in cvs and that code is no worse in stability that release. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120570
for details and an "updating patch".
Sawfish, and quite possibly other window managers as well, is also adversly affected by a bug in libwnck. Check
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120652
for that. That one "closed, fixed upstream" but fixes did not percolate to FC2 level so far AFAICS.
