Binary package hint: mutter

This may be a bug in gnome-session or unity rather than mutter.

When gnome-session is set to remember startup applications, it remembers
mutter.  When you log out, and in, two mutters start: one as part of the
netbook session, and one as part of the remembered startup applications.

One of the mutter processes dies with:

Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window 
manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
** (mutter:4187): DEBUG: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GME GEM 
20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2

However, it then re-runs itself.  It gets stuck in an infinite loop,
where a second mutter process always tries to run.

Apart from the CPU load, this also causes lots of gconfd-2 writes to
disk.

The only way to stop it is to configure gnome-session not to remember
applications, and to find ~/.config *session* | xargs rm

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
