Bug Description
After installing gnome on xubuntu gutsy, logging out, and logged back in using gnome as session, no window manager starts.

How did you install Gnome? Which window managers do you have installed (e.g. metacity)? If you try starting a window manager after logging in (i.e. from an xterm), does it start without problems?
Do you have compiz installed? I just ran across a problem on Hardy where gnome-wm makes bad decisions when compiz is not installed (since compiz is its default). I have attached a patch which fixes that problem (compiz is selected regardless of whether or not it is installed) - but I am not sure if that is the problem you are experiencing.
