This varies slightly from the usual policy of doing what the installed
system would do, but I'm willing to turn a blind eye.  The more correct
fix would be waiting for one of the properties metacity creates to exist
on the root window.  This is harder than you think.

Hi Ajax,

  def doShutdownX11Actions():
      global wm_pid
+    global xserver_pid

      if wm_pid is not None:
          try:
@@ -128,6 +130,13 @@ def doShutdownX11Actions():
          except:
              pass

+    if xserver_pid is not None:
+        try:
+            os.kill(xserver_pid, 15)
+            os.waitpid(xserver_pid, 0)
+        except:

This is not your fault but the last time doShutdownX11Actions() was called was in 2006 (a9240ccced95966c0739419b62bce0367f378e40). It should go. Is that a problem that the X will be staying alive?

              proc = subprocess.Popen(["Xorg", "-br", "-logfile", "/tmp/X.log",
+                                     "-noreset"],

This looks reasonable, I'm just afraid to find out why it isn't so by default.

Also--the patch needs to be submitted to master too.
