Original bug report:
> whenever a crashed application is closed by hitting the "x" button in the titlebar,
> Metacity used to showing a window "The application doesn't answer [Close] [Wait]" or
> something like this. Now, it causes the system to become unusable by grabbing every
> keyboard-input or mouse-clicks. That means:
> * The system is still running: xmms continues playing, the hardware-monitor
>    refreshes normally.
> * I can move the mouse
> * No mouse clicks or keystrokes are recognized: Neither Alt+Strg+Backspace nor
>    Alt+Strg+F1

Hi,

I can reproduce this now. It seems to be the result of a broken icon
file (attached), installed by autopackage [0]. 

Reproducing it is only a matter of;

      * Dropping the file in /usr/share/icons/hicolor
      * Generate the icon cache using GTK+ 2.10 (2.11 refuses to create
        the cache, complaining about a bad image index)
      * Restart metacity and invoke metacity-dialog.

As the faulty image have been fixed in autopackage, and
gtk-update-icon-cache doesn't create bad cache files anymore, do we
consider this fixed now, or should I forward this upstream?
