Title bar vanishes in gnome when chaning sound preferences

Hi all,

A very strange problem occured to me today. In System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sounds when I toggle "Play alerts and sound effects" the titlebar of all windows are gone! Also keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore at this point.
The xsession error log when disabling sounds (and when the titlebars dissapear):

gnome-session[3545]: WARNING: Not able to stop app from its condition: Not running
Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.
Window manager warning: Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0.  This shouldn't happen!

When reactivating the sound (and thereby the titlebars become visible again):

Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/wilco/.config/metacity/sessions/1034fa318afc7c55f2122922628798565700000035450018.ms: Failed to open file '/home/wilco/.config/metacity/sessions/1034fa318afc7c55f2122922628798565700000035450018.ms': No such file or directory

Any suggestions?

Metacity is crashing. Try searching/filling a report on Gnome's bugzilla.
