Bug 109915 (IT#30272)

Description of problem:
Ever since I have upgraded from Enterprise Workstation 2.1 to 
3.0, I noticed that there is a strange issue with some application 
windows and moving them around. Terminal windows are fine, but 
if I start VMWare, GIMP, OpenOffice and other apps, and try to  
move them on the desktop, they do not move until I click the left 
mouse again. It's like there is some strange delay and the window 
knows where to go, but there is no outline or movement until I click 
again. Then the window "snaps" to where is should be. I set preferences 
to make the window active when the mouse enters it, I do not raise on 
active and Alt is the key to move. 
I found I could "fix" the problem for all windows for the whole session 
if I just Pull Down on ANY windows options (top left "V" options drop 
down) area. I don't have to select anything from the option, just drop it 
down and it's fixed. If I log out and back in, the problem is back 
until I use any window options drop down again. I found different
graphics 
settings, drivers and resolutions did not change this. I also found this 
only happens in the Metacity/Gnome/Bluecurve environment and not in
KDE at all. 
My current setup is Enterprise Workstation 3.0, Sun 24" color monitor
running 1600x1200, NVIDIA 
Quadro generic driver on a Dell Precision 360. Did not see this with same 
hardware in Workstation 2.1 or RedHat 8.0/9.0. 
 
Any ideas?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
metacity-2.4.55-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log into the system (under Metacity/Gnome/Bluecurve)
2.Start gimp (or openoffice)
3.Attempt to move the window by holding down the left mouse to grab
the top border of the window.

Actual Results:  I see nothing move until I click the
left mouse again and the window jumps to where I want it to go.


Expected Results:  The window should move as I move the mouse along.

Additional info:

This is not related to content moves vs. window outline moves
unless the window outline is hidden. Odd that just pulling down on
any window properties (and not selecting anything or selecting something)
fixes all windows for the whole session. Something is getting
"read" or set the first time this happens and this fixes everything.
If you get out and back in, you see the issue again. I have seen this
with anyone we upgraded to Enterprise Workstation 3
