Upstream are aware of the issue, as are Red Hat.  It's possible that
this will be fixed in an update.

In the meantime I've made a modified version of metacity that fixes
the problem.  This is available for download and, as an experiment, in
a yum repository.

See here for details:

It's i386 only, I'm afraid.
