Probably the easiest way is

 # apt-get build-dep metacity
 # apt-get install git fakeroot

 $ apt-get source metacity
 $ cd metacity-2.30.1
 $ git init
 $ git add .
 $ git commit -m basis
 $ wget 'http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=145814'
 $ git am 'attachment.cgi?id=145814'
 $ sed -i -e 's/== "1"/= "1"/' configure
 $ dpkg-buildpackage -b

I am not sure why the patch doesn't apply with "patch -p1".  Oh well.

Ah, I didn't do anything. :)
