After I wrote my last email about not being able to have easy steps to 
trigger the bug, it left me thinking.  I thought more about what I had 
rambled about previously and why a metacity dialog would be triggered.  
My guess had been that it was caused by a "Not Responding" dialog.  Well 
it turns out, that's exactly what is going on.

<TRIGGER>
If you open up the terminal and start any program (ex: 
gnome-calculator), suspend it (Ctl+Z) and then try to close the window 
as you would normally (via the metacity widget).
</TRIGGER>

It should bring up a dialog that says "This application isn't 
responding, do you want to kill the application." Turns out, my system 
never gets that far.  I've never seen that dialog since I upgraded to 
Gutsy.  Instead of showing the dialog, it just hangs until I ssh in and 
kill the process (ex: /usr/lib/metacity/metacity-dialog --screen 0 
--timestamp 3288704419 --kill-window-question Calculator 0x2c00003).

Metacity Dialogs appear and lock up the system.
