Metacity displays warnings like these in the console when certain
applications display modal dialogs, at least on Linux.
At Acrobat startup:
09:20 Window manager warning: Window 0x2a000cb (About Acro) sets an
MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and
max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.
09:20 Window manager warning: Window 0x2a000cb (About Acro) sets an
MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and
max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.
This is reproduceable by running Acrobat Reader, and choosing "About
Acrobat Reader" from the Help menu (the same dialog that's displayed
at startup).
TechTime also whines (the version in the techtime locker has been
broken for a long time, there's a working copy at "athrun tt
ttdeskop"):
09:28 Window manager warning: Window 0x32000b4 (Sign-in) sets an MWM
hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and max
size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.
09:28 Window manager warning: Window 0x320010e (Off-line) sets an MWM
hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and max
size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.

The same thing happens on stock RHEL 4, so perhaps metacity is just
lonely and wants to chat or something. It's a pretty useless error
message, though, so if it could be suppressed, that would be good.
But it doesn't really matter...
