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&

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.
