Same here. Upgrading metacity makes all buttons disappear, downgrading
it brings them back. I tried to look in ~/.xsession-errors to see if
there's any error message, but there doesn't seem to be any difference
between sid's and wheezy's messages.

I'll try to test it further during the weekend, to see if I can spot
anything more useful.
