  Matthias, can you post your 'very hackish way' please
 
 well, it's nothing special:
 
 
 #!/bin/bash
 ! ps -u $(whoami) | grep metacity  /dev/null  metacity 
 
 put this in a file somewhere in your home directory, make it 
 executable and add it to Startup Programs in Sessions...
 

or, if you want it more verbose:


#!/bin/bash

LOGFILE=${HOME}/meta.log
COMPLAIN=metacity was not started by gnome

ps -u $(whoami) | grep metacity  /dev/null if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo $(date): $COMPLAIN  $LOGFILE
metacity
fi

Hi,

I ried this 'solution' just one time. Unfortunately, I installed a lot of 
programs during the time. This problem appeared after upgrading gnome to the 
latest stable version. I had no problems at all by using gnome 2.16.

I used a unstable version of gnome-2.18 once and downgraded because of this 
problem. Nobody able to solve this problem.

Matthias, can you post your 'very hackish way' please

kind regards

  I had this problem and solved it by deleting ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 and
 ~/.gnome2_private
 

hmm, although i've installed gentoo only about 2 month ago, i don't want to 
loose all my personal settings; i've created a new user - and it seems to work 
there - but maybe only because i've never really *used* this account...

i'm already thinking about solving this problem in a very hackish way:
by writing a script that is called on startup and eventually starts metacity 
for me...

hopefully i find a better solution.
 
 
 Hi, I have the same problem here. Deleting the files help, but not for 
 long. After 3-4 Logins without any problem, the problem returns.
 

yes, and i fear that the same would happen to me :-/.

matthias

this does the trick at least for me...

I have been seeing this problem for some time too.  Can someone suggest
where to look for error messages?  I've looked in the places I know
about.
