Back in 2005, a Metacity crash when running certain SDL apps was reported in GNOME bug 169684.
This bug remains at “critical”, but there has been no new comment on it for five years. Nobody appears to be experiencing the same problem now.
Gentle reader, do you have any experience in SDL? Can you tell us whether the problem is still present?

Original reporter here. It works fine now. (I couldn’t tell you at what point it did; i’ve used compiz for some time now, only having pulled up metacity to test this)
Woot. Thanks.
