Windowmanager-Warning:meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

    If I start metacity within tilda (or any other terminal), all error output of metacity is given to STDERR. And in this case this is the tilda terminal ;)

    I'm not sure, but I think that this is a metacity bug, not a Tilda bug. We never use _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW anywhere in our code, so it either happens automatically in GDK / GTK / VTE, or in metacity itself.

    I don't think it is causing any problems, and a quick google search doesn't show any way to fix this. I'll leave this open, but drop the priority. If you can find me a solution (or why) this problem is happening, I'll happily look into it more.
