Have you read the severity descriptions ?

grave
    makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data
    loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts
    of users who use the package.

Do you really think that the package is unusable ?


I'd say that the right severity is :

important
    a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
    without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.


After crashes metacity restart in a few second, so it's annoying but
doesn't make the package unusable imho, so I'm changing the
severity. Let me know if you agree.

Thanks for the trace!

Ok, thanks for the details.
