Metacity fails to start in Fesity

[Lucas Arruda]

Since some days (the problem started somewhere between 11th and 13th) Metacity randomically fails to start at the beginning.
It maybe a small problem, since running metacity in the terminal or in run application.

But it annoies a bit. A new user could have a lot of trouble with this. And some times I can`t reach the menu and I have to kill some applications I have left open when I powered off my system, as I save my session.

The thing is, I am not using beryl nor compiz. My card is a ATi and It doesn`t support composition. So I never used Desktop Effects from Feisty.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your bug. Not confirming, GNOME works correctly on my desktop. Do you have anything to .xsession-errors when you get the bug?

I am pretty much with the same. Suddenly metacity was not started anymore. After a series of tries I ended up deleting ~/.gconf, and now metacity does start nicely, sort of. No beryl, no compiz, ever. I never saw anything seemingly related to this in .xsession-errors.

The same here. Metacity doesn't start and I have to run it manually.

I am attacching my .xsession-errors

Do you have a .gnomerc? Did you use gnome-compiz-manager?

[Fabio Marzocca (thesaltydog)]

I do not use gnome-compiz-manager, but after a dist-upgrade this morning the boring bug has disappeared.

closing then

Never used Compiz, Beryl, I have an ATi.
There is no .gnomerc here to.

Maybe an update from Feisty fixed, because since yesterday or the day before it (17) metacity problem is gone.
