[gentoo-user] This is driving me crazy - firefox3 jumping windows

[William Kenworthy]

This is driving me crazy - firefox3 jumping windows whenever I click on
a URL in evolution.

>From some emails I found on the gnome lists, it appears to be a design
change in metacity that was reverted due to (firefox3) user outcry

However, I have two systems with the same gnome/metacity/firefox
versions that behave differently - both old installs (~1999 and 2002)
but otherwise up to date.  Ive rebuilt metacity a couple of times and
firefox has been through a few upgrades - rebooted but no change :( One
jumps, one doesnt which implies it may be a config option somewhere.

Its possible it can be fixed by deleting the .gnome stuff, but I dont
want to do this unless I have to ...

No need to delete .gnome to find out: create a new user and log in with
that one.
