Description Dan Winship 2003-04-09 12:53:27 UTC 
If you kill and restart metacity, each window gets moved down on the
screen by the height of its titlebar.

If by "kill" you mean "kill -TERM" or "kill -9", this is not fixable
without an X extension. Use metacity --replace or metacity-message
restart instead.

(This was part of the X extension that Keith got kicked out of 
XFree86 for checking in.)

If you mean "kill -TERM" should go ahead and close as notgnome, 
it's not fixable in metacity.
