+ - If you switch from sawfish to metacity without restarting X, 
+   the panel often ends up buried behind the Nautilus desktop window.
+
+   What happens is that the panel detects Sawfish has gone away, and
+   turns on override redirect mode because no GNOME-aware WM is
+   running (i.e. it goes into "ignore the window manager" mode). But
+   the panel doesn't notice that Metacity has appeared and is
+   (partially) GNOME-compliant. So Metacity doesn't see the override
+   redirect panel, and leaves it behind the Nautilus desktop. I'm not
+   sure whether Metacity or the panel is to blame for this.
+
+   (To debug - use "xwininfo" on the panel, if override redirect is
+    "Yes" then Metacity won't have any awareness of a window and can't
+    properly stack it above the desktop. If override redirect is "No"
+    then Metacity can see the panel and handle it properly. Look at
+    xstuff.c:xstuff_is_compliant_wm() in the panel to get started on
+    how the panel deals with this.)
