Every time I boot into Linux and log into GNOME I have to start metacity
manually by su'ing in a terminal and issuing a
# metacity &> /dev/null &
before I can get title bars and such that goes with it. My wife's
computer does the same thing. Here's the info on my PC:

On camille I have re-merged metacity and emerge --emptytree gnome and
neither one helped. It's quite annoying everytime we log in having to
manually start metacity as other things open up that we have to close in
order to get to the gnome-terminal. Can anyone give me any advice on
how to fix this?

Hi,
I don't have a solution, just to mention that I have the same problem
(with gnome-2.18.2-r1). I guess the starting point would be: Where goes
the output (and error) of whatever script starts the gnome session? and
where in the config files does it say that metacity should start?
Thanks,
Moshe

Solved it. Just delete your local .gnome .gnome2 .gnome_private files in
your home dir.

Hi,
I don't have a solution, just to mention that I have the same problem
(with gnome-2.18.2-r1). I guess the starting point would be: Where goes
the output (and error) of whatever script starts the gnome session? and
where in the config files does it say that metacity should start?
Thanks,
Moshe

Hello,
I came across the same problem. I believe it happened during an
upgrade or update of either gnome/gtk or libexpat. I know that the
execution of metacity and such settings are set in the .gnome* files. So
as a last resort without any help I just figured; why not just delete
the .gnome* directories with `rm -rf .gnome2 .gnome .gnome2_private` and
then restart X. I was shocked to have seen it work afterwards. I know
for a fact that certain programs regenerate their config dirs if they
don't exist and I believe that that is what happened.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. The problem for me with this approach is that it
happens on a machine that I manage for my father on different continent.
I am afraid that if I do this all the settings for the desktop will
disappear, he will not know how to set this up, and I also won't know
since I don't understand the gnome configuration files. I will do it as
a last resort, but I would rather understand what happens, and fix it.
Thanks,
Moshe

Surprisingly, it did not destroy my settings. The background and
everything was still there.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. The problem for me with this approach is that it
happens on a machine that I manage for my father on different continent.
I am afraid that if I do this all the settings for the desktop will
disappear, he will not know how to set this up, and I also won't know
since I don't understand the gnome configuration files. I will do it as
a last resort, but I would rather understand what happens, and fix it.
Thanks,
Moshe

I've done it on two of our PCs here. The only side effects I've seen
