Noah, I believe I found a fix for the theme.

Please edit /usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/metacity-1/metacity-1.xml and 
change every occurrence of "title_height+4" to "top_height-2".  After 
saving the file, type "metacity-message reload-theme" and let me know if 
that fixes it. (It hopefully should.)

To do the global change in VIM, you'd type the following:
:%s/title_height+4/top_height-2/g

In gedit, you can go to the search menu, select the "replace" option (or 
just simply hit control+r), then use the dialog to replace the text.

Other editors (such as Emacs or jed) each have their own special way of 
doing search and replace too.

The area you need to change is specifically around line 500, in both the 
outer_bevel and outer_bevel_focus draw_ops.  Of course, any decent 
global search and replace *should* cover that. (:

Let me know if this fixes the bug for you.

Thanks,
Garrett
