Edit: Metacity still doesn't show window decorators, but at least on
session startup compiz starts.

Comments #10 and #11 does fix the problem, ie it reverts back to
metacity. However, if I try to activate Visual effects through
Appearance, it hangs on Keep settings and upon log in the problem is
back. Launching gnome-appearance-properties from a terminal gives the
following output when changing
Oh, forgot this: In other words, the problem should go away if users
install compiz and compiz-gnome package (which is a dependency to compiz
so just mark that one for installation).
The bug report should probably be changed to another package, right? I'm
assuming that the fault lies in either
Well, I found out that my suggestion does not work correctly. After

Is the file re-created as it was before? Could it possible be because of
the settings in Visual effects? It Visual effects is set to none, I'm
assuming the content of the file should be metacity and not compiz.

Yes, the file is recreated with compiz even when visual effects are not
active. However visual effect changes cannot be changed due to this bug:

I think these bugs have the same reason.

Seems likely. Bug #554106 is probably the reason why you can't change
back to metacity in Visual effects, and possibly why some (like me)
didn't have the compiz package installed in the first place. I'm
assuming here that Visual effects takes care of installing the compiz
packages and that the
I found out that the problem is with this file:
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/%gconf.xml
Mine looks like this:

The fix in post #7 worked for me as well. However, it seemed to change
my grub background to a debian one. Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and
gnome-desktop-environment installed some key gnome and compiz components
that had been removed for some reason.

I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop to no avail. gnome-desktop-environment
isn't installed at all on my system, according to synaptic. If I select
it to be installed, synaptic lists a large number of packages it
additionally needs, some of which look quite redundant to what I think I
have currently

Similar problem here: I can get back my window decorations etc. by
starting metacity in a terminal, but if I try to enable the visual
effects (from 'none' to 'normal'), metacity asks me if I want to keep
the settings, but then hangs itself. If I close the dialog window, I get

I'm sorry, but apport tells me it doesn't support this crash file. I'm
appending it to this post. All I did this time was right-clicking in the
title bar, which crashed metacity and generated this crash file.

I'm reopening this bug, since the fix mentioned doesn't seem to work, at
least in my case - I was using the latest metacity version (listed in
the Janitor post) and still it got this crash. Please tell me if I'm
doing this wrong and better had opened a new bug.

metacity crashes on login - no
For me the problem went away after I reinstalled gnome-desktop
environment and ubuntu-desktop; initially, metacity was complaining
about a file inside $HOME/.config/metacity/, which wasn't there to begin
with.
