Description
Sugar starts the Metacity window manager in src/jarabe/main.py
If Metacity fails, the process remains in Z (defunct) state, it is not reaped by jarabe calling wait(2), and several display behaviours occur;
- alt+tab and shift+alt+tab don't work,
- frame works, but selecting alternate views doesn't work.
The learner must restart the computer using power button.
Perhaps Sugar should restart Metacity if it fails.
