It's related to the new metacity 2.34.0 (i did not pushed it initially
because it was
not working correctly localy when i tested it)

In fact it's just another problem with « failed to register » functionnality.
The « something goes wrong » windows before is certainly related to that too :
gnome-shell was already failing to register itself, & now the same is
happening with metacity.

If i'm not wrong guillomovitch opened a bug report regarding this.
