* Metacity could not handle closing application windows run remotely via X. A BadWindow error would
occur. A patch has been added to trap this error. As a result, the error message no longer appears.

* when the /apps/metacity/general/raise_on_click GConf key was set to "false" this option incorrectly
combined the ability to intercept user clicks with the intended use of intercepting calls coming from
applications. Consequently, windows for many non-EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints)
compliant applications could not be raised or lowered. This issue has now been rectified so that, if the
key is set to false, older applications not yet using net_window_activate can be raised and lowered.

This update also adds the following enhancements:
* in Metacity's "mouse" and "sloppy" focus modes, it is possible to have the pointer hover over a
window without it becoming focused. This happens, for example, if another window steals focus away.
Previously, it was necessary to move the mouse out of the window and then back into it, or to click on
it, to give it focus.
(BZ#530261
* the /apps/metacity/general/place_on_current_monitor feature was added. If this option is set to
"true", new windows will always be placed on the current monitor, rather than be placed on any
monitor with free space.
* if an application displays a window without setting its appropriate properties, it steals focus from the
current window and thereby steal the user's keystrokes. (This usually happens with older applications
written without modern toolkits.) The new no_focus_windows option allows one to specify which
windows should not be given the keyboard's focus.
* when a new window is not given keyboard focus, it is placed underneath the current window and
entry flashes. When the new /apps/metacity/general/new_windows_always_on_top key is set to "true",
windows are always placed on top, iirespective of keyboard focus.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated Metacity package, which resolve these issues and adds
these enhancements.
1.122. microcode_ctl
1.122.1. RHEA-2010:0243: enhancement update
An updated microcode_ctl package that provides the latest version of the Intel microcode is now
available.
microcode_ctl provides utility code and the microcode data itself -- supplied by Intel -- to assist the
kernel in updating the CPU microcode at system boot time. This microcode supports all current Intel
x86- and Intel 64-based CPU models and takes advantage of the mechanism built-in to Linux that
allows microcode to be updated after system boot. When loaded, the updated microcode corrects the
behavior of various Intel processors, as described in processor specification updates issued by Intel
for those processors.
