RHBA-2005:574 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated metacity package that fixes various issues is now available.

Description

Metacity is a simple window manager that integrates with GNOME.

This update contains the following fixes and enhancements to metacity:

• Clicking a window title bar resulted in the window "sticking" to the

mouse.

• Unrolling/unshading a window in wireframe mode resulted in leftover

artifacts on the screen.

• Edge snapping did not work correctly.
• Resizing tooltips did not show up for constrained windows in reduced

resources mode.

All users of metacity should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

Solution

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
