Comment 83 for bug 41301

I echo Rodolfo's question: How do I apply this patch for Intrepid?
More importantly, what needs to happen to make an SRU (Stable Release Update) request for this bug to be fixed on older Ubuntu releases?
Until then, I guess I'll try Justin's suggestion:

To "reset" the bug without rebooting the x server you can do the following:

alt-tab to a window (firefox is the one i usually use)
alt-space to bring up the window options menu (metacity)
select move (this binds the cursor to the center of the window)
use the arrow keys to move the window to another X session window
move the mouse
the bug should now be gone

... 'cuz "metacity --replace" doesn't fix anything for me.
