I can confirm this issue and that turning off desktop effects works round the issue.

I ran into the issue after making a machine headless and moving it so had to disable desktop effects in the terminal. Todo this you use the two commands below then restart.

gconftool -s -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current /usr/bin/metacity
gconftool -s -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default /usr/bin/metacity
