Bug#533917: metacity: windows open below gnome panel

[Gerfried Fuchs]

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.26.0-2
Severity: important

	Hi!

 Until recently, new windows got opened outside the gnome panel area,
and when moving windows the panel was giving a short stop to the window.
Now when opening windows and moving windows around it looks like the
panel is completely ignored.

 I am not aware that I tweaked any option if there is one for that
behavior, propably it switched its default or similar. If it's not
option related, I'm not sure what to think of it. It at least seems to
be similar to or the same as #533917 - if you also think so feel free
to merge them.

 ... reading further in that bugreport it indeed is the same issue, and
doing the "metacity --replace" workaround does fix it for me. I hope
that it at least partly helps to confirm that the "metacity --replace"
thing does do the magic trick. :)

 Thanks in advance!
Rhonda
