* Please set r? in the keywords field for requesting a review, not in the comment.
* metacity is an upstream component, not maintained by Sugar Labs.  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ is the bug tracker used by GNOME. I don't know what their process is to get a patch in, but you should be able to find it on their homepage somewhere.

And whoever approved the moderation request, please remember to add the user to group unmoderated, otherwise (s)he will need to go through moderation again for the next change.

Replying to sascha_silbe:

status changed from assigned to closed

Do we not leave the bug open until the upstream bug is closed?

Has there been an upstream bug filed? Has this patch been applied somewhere?

Upstream ticket:  Gnome#643682

Downstream ticket:  OLPC#11161

Based on a private mail by Owen Taylor, we'll have the same problem again when we migrate from metacity to mutter. The latter is only a matter of time, as  metacity has been in maintenance mode for over two years already.
