I have no trouble believing that it could be a metacity bug - but
nothing else triggers it.

Nope. The behavior has changed, though. So, to summarize:
- With 22.0.91: an attempt to resize the window will lock up every
time.
- 22.0.91 with the patch sent by Chong Yidong backed out: never locks
up.
- With CVS grabbed in the morning (US/Mountain) of November 30: locks
up maybe one time in five - but still definitely locks up. It is,
however, easier to unwedge: for whatever reason, switching to
another virtual console and back shakes things loose.
Hope that helps,
jon
