Description Soren Sandmann Pedersen 2008-10-31 19:25:13 UTC
Metacity prints this message:

   Window manager warning: Attempt to perform window operation 26 on window none when operation 26 on none already in effect

and others similar to it, whenever it does something and there is a grab in effect already. For example if you Alt-tab-tab-tab, the two last tabs will happen while a grab is already active. 

The problem is that these messages are logged in .xsession-error and therefore cause disk wakeups. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467802

I'm patching out the warning in Fedora 10, but it may be better to make it a meta_topic() instead.
