as said, we have the patch . See the last couple of gtk+ ebuilds

ok, but is metacity taking advantage of it?

If so then I guess this bug is completely pointless.

hmmm it should.. check during compile or the so's themselves

for me it is, altough it's not really noticable anymore (mainly was when the first nvidia 1.4xxx series were here and were terrible).

Im adding an updated gtk+-2.2.1-r1 which should incorporate all of the patch. Give it a go.
