Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.14.1-1
Severity: important

Recently, the "Windows" desktop preference application has stopped 
working.  Running it in the terminal produces the following:

(gnome-window-properties:5788): capplet-common-WARNING **: Couldn't
load 
window manager settings module 
`/usr/lib/libgnome-window-settings1/libmetacity.so' 
(/usr/lib/libgnome-window-settings1/libmetacity.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory)

I have the 1:2.14.5-1 version of the metacity packages installed.

A similar message comes up if you run /usr/bin/gnome-theme-manager
