1. I booted my PC today -- metacity didn't launch.
2. I tried disabling the Sessions saving options, and logging out, and nack in:

3. I installed the software update with the fix for Bug #106350, re-enabled
session saving, logged out and back in: metacity
did you restart your session after the update, it's required to have the
new version used

No, I didn't. I performed only the steps I listed.
I've since rebooted, and metacity has launched as normal: the update appears to

Thanks for your report. I have a few questions about your report:
1. What release of Ubuntu are you using?
2. Have you enabled desktop effects (in other words, Beryl or Compiz)?
3. If you have a terminal available to type in, can you run the metacity
command and tell me what happens?

1. Just upgraded edgy-feisty
2. No
3. Borders appear on all windows and everything seems to go back to normal. I

Clearlooks configuration option menuitemstyle is not supported and will be
ignored.
