The warning you've pictured is useful, but currenty my .xsession-errors has things like "Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x44000e5 (Toolbox)" and "Attempt to perform window operation 20 on window none when operation 20 on none already in effect", neither of which are particularly helpful to me, and would certainly be annoying if they popped up as modal dialog boxes. Is there some way within Metacity to alter keybindings, or does that warning appear when Metacity notices a gconf update that it can't honour?
