I have the same problem, but in my case Metacity doesn't crash, it freezes. The only way to recover control is killing X and restarting the session. If I do that, the compositing manager is off when the session is restarted. I think the original report was about the same issue, but maybe seanh used the term "crashes" instead of "freezes". I'm using an Acer laptop with SiSM760GX graphics chipset (sis xorg driver)
