Thanks, good start. I've updated the bug with a reproducer, and reproduced twice, once on Ubuntu 16.04 and once on Fedora 23 SoaS.
I've tried your patch; small logic error causes two instances of metacity to start, and the second one (correctly) exits. The process is still not reaped. Your patch moves the Popen _and_ the Wnck call to a timeout callback; it would be better to make them into a utility function, then; - call the utility function during startup, - set a new timeout function to call poll(), return true if the process still exists, - when poll() shows process has terminated, call the utility function again, but still return true. Returning true from a timeout callback function tells GObject to call again after the next period.
