Package: gnome-session Version: 2.28.0-2 Severity: normal This is because gnome-wm chooses mutter over metacity if direct rendering is supported. I don't think this is a good choice. As I understand it, mutter is not really meant to be used in its own right; moreover, if you're using an Intel graphics chip without kernel mode-setting enabled, Mutter draws approximately one frame per second (due to a Clutter bug, I believe).
I'm aware that I can set /desktop/gnome/session/required_component/windowmanager to 'metacity' to avoid this, but I shouldn't need to mess around with that just because I tried out Gnome Shell for a couple of days. (Note that if I didn't know how to work around this, my computer would be unusable.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-session depends on: ii gnome-panel 2.28.0-2 launcher and docking facility for ii gnome-session-bin 2.28.0-2 The GNOME Session Manager - Minima ii gnome-settings-daem 2.28.1-1 daemon handling the GNOME session ii mesa-utils 7.6-1 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities ii metacity 1:2.28.0-1 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii mutter 2.28.1~git20091024-1 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii nautilus 2.28.1-1 file manager and graphical shell f ii policykit-1-gnome 0.94-1 GNOME authentication agent for Pol Versions of packages gnome-session recommends: ii gnome-power-manager 2.28.1-2 power management tool for the GNOM Versions of packages gnome-session suggests: ii desktop-base 5.0.5 common files for the Debian Deskto ii gnome-keyring 2.28.1-1 GNOME keyring services (daemon and ii gnome-user-guide [gnome2-user 2.28.0-1 GNOME user's guide -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
