 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

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...

this does the trick at least for me...

regards,
matthias

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

 #!/bin/bash

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.
