I came to my laptop this morning to find this happening once again. No intervening reboot occurred for this to have been a startup-specific process. My fans are whirring away at maximum speed just to keep my processor/GPU at 70 C. This is entirely unaccpeptable.
killall metacity has no effect
Only one instance of metacity is running (some similar bugs reported two competing instances)
compiz --replace has no effect
Rebooting has no effect
the .gconfd/saved_state file contains over a thousand lines of this:
