+*** Metacity: Resizing Emacs or ALT-Tab causes X to be unresponsive.
+
+This happens sometimes when using Metacity.  Resizing Emacs or ALT-Tab:bing
+makes the system unresponsive to the mouse or the keyboard.  Killing Emacs
+or shifting out from X11 and back again usually cures it (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-F1 
+and then Alt-F7).  A bug for it is here:

+Note that a permanent fix seems to be to disable "assistive technologies".
