trying to restart metacity after the crash via ssh resulted in an error message 
along the lines of: could not load theme ambiance
format for image file could not be determined

later, when more packages of the upgrade were installed, the restart of
metacity became possible again

btw. the desktop running was gnome-classic (not unity)
