the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Whenever I run either mplayer or glxgears, metacity crashes and makes use of the desktop rather difficult (for my wife and children; I can switch via Ctrl-Alt-F2 to console and kill the offending program, but still even I cannot use mplayer). Considering we use the computer in question as a media center, it is a bit of problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
metacity-2.28.0-23.el6.i686
gnome-session-2.28.0-22.el6.i686
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.5.99-3.el6.i686
kernel-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.i686
How reproducible:
100% (at least ten out of ten, but probably more)
Steps to Reproduce:
1.login to Gnome session with metacity as the window manager
2.run mplayer
3.
Actual results:
mplayer (in default configuration) or any GL application (tested with mplayer -vo gl and with glxgears) make a picture in root window BELOW all other windows and Alt-TAB or other means are not available. I have to do Ctrl-Alt-F2 to kill from ckonsole.
Expected results:
just works, pressing 'f' in mplayer switches to the full screen and back

The assertion in question is that:
default_icon = gtk_icon_theme_load_icon (theme,
"gtk-missing-image",
META_ICON_WIDTH,
0,
NULL);
fails to load an icon, so I'd guess that either a) you are missing the icon theme package - I think gnome-icon-theme for RHEL 6, or b) you have the account configured to use a different icon theme that doesn't have this icon.

Mutter is a fork of metacity, and the link points to the commit that fixed the issue there.

Right. I was just worried.
