Comment 1 Thomas Thurman 2006-12-14 17:33:25 UTC 
That's pretty serious. It doesn't happen for me running the version in HEAD. Can you tell me which particular version of 2.17.* you're running (metacity --version)? Or, better, if you're able to test HEAD then please let us know whether it happens there too.

The error occurs because an edge is marked as not being one of left, right, top, or bottom, which shouldn't be possible. If this still happens in HEAD I'd like to know what it *is* marked as.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2006-12-16 18:28:25 UTC 
The patch in bug 353513 ought to help; I probably should have applied it when I created it.  Other comments in that bug suggest that there may be another place that triggers this bug, meaning that there may be other out-of-bounds or uninitialized data being used somewhere...

Anyway, its triggering the same assertion, so I'll mark this report as a duplicate.
