Package: gnome-session Version: 2.14.3-1 Severity: important There is something weird happening when I attempt to start GNOME with my session settings (included below), namely the startup begins normally and then kaboom the session ends prematurely and I am returned to the login manager (or shell where startx was invoked). My prime suspect for this behaviour is the fact that I am using two display setup without Xinerama and therefor there has to be two instances of my favourite window manager FVWM (currently from Debian package fvwm-gnome 2.5.17-1) and given that there has already been reports on that gnome-session fails to launch multiple instances of xterm, my problems may be related to that. I've tried with another user account, where the window manager is sawfish and there seems to be no problem. Also on a laptop I manage to run the very same GNOME and FVWM versions fine, but there I have just one screen, so the problem most likely has something to do with my desktop dualhead X configuration.
