Binary package hint: metacity

When upgrading to metacity-1.2.30.1-0ubuntu1, the new package installs
without error but metacity does not run when you start X because it
cannot find workspace names using gconf.  To trigger this bug, create
more than 16 workspaces before upgrading.  The problem is that the
metacity schema in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas only has
slots for 16 workspace names, but metacity lets you have up to 36
workspaces.  The workaround is to manually edit the metacity.schemas
file and add slots 17 - 36 under the key for
/schemas/apps/metacity/workspace_names/name then run "gconf-schemas
--register-all".
