there's nothing in xsession-errors..
actually i deleted it and logged in/out of gnome several times...
nothing got written into that file ( well.. gdm wrote there 2 lines:
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession//Default: Registering your session with wtmp and
utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession//Default: running: sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp
-u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l :0 gabor
but i don't think they're important..
but i solved the problem somehow...
i installed sawfish, switched to sawfish, logged out from gnome with
save-session (so sawfish became the gnome-wm), then logged into gnome,
killed sawfish, started metacity, logged out with save-session...
and now metacity starts normally ( in less than 1 second )
:-))
if i only knew what happened...
bye,
gabor

That's life for you, said McDunn. Someone always waiting for someone
who never comes home. Always someone loving something more than that
thing loves them. And after awhile you want to destroy whatever
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
