[opensuse] Metacity weirdness
openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 (GNOME desktop), just applied some updates today and Compiz is dead now (it seems that the X11:XGL repo got a couple updates that caused some problems) - not a big deal for me, because I frequently switch to Metacity. However it seems that the Metacity keybindings are whacked. Alt-Space, Alt-Tab, Alt-Shift-Tab, and several other keybindings don't work now. I can alt-esc through the windows, but I can't alt-tab. Alt-F2 does work, though. The keybindings all look right in gconf-editor; I even tried a gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity to get things reset, but for some reason these keybindings just don't want to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Just in case anyone runs into this, I seem to have found the problem - for some reason, compiz --replace doesn't replace metacity with version 0.7.8, but compiz also doesn't start properly. With both in memory, it seems that compiz grabs the ALT key and won't let go. Killing compiz has fixed the issue. Now to figure out why compiz got broken in the first place....
