Wrong logic. And just because you have "the only" system that displays
such behaviour does not imply that R is bug-free, nor that a workaround
is necessarily impossible.

That's not true for Metacity on Fedora, it seems.

Certainly not! Hiding the fact that this is system-specific does not
resolve the issue any faster. To the contrary, since it is
system-specific, it is most likely to be analyzed and eventually fixed
by someone with access to the specific system.
However, R is an application that has worked across multiple X11 based
platforms for many years. If R doesn't work on a new platform, I think
it is fair to ask what is being done different on that platform, by
filing a bug report for the system, if necessary.
