Package: gnome-session Version: 2.30.2-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I log in via GDM by selecting the "GNOME/Openbox" session. After a dist-upgrade (upgrading gnome-session from 2.22.3-2 to 2.30.2-3), I now get metacity started as a window manager, and openbox started shortly after. Then openbox and gnome-settings-daemon seem to spawn in a tight loop, taking up all CPU with various kdeinit (?!) processes. If I run "killall metacity ; sleep 1 ; killall metacity", everything goes back to normal and openbox loads as expected. I'll attach the first 100 lines of my ~/.xsession-errors. I changed the /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gconf key from "gnome-wm" to "openbox", and now it works properly, but I don't think that should be necessary. My /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager link points to /usr/bin/openbox. I don't know if this is really a gnome-session or openbox-session problem, but since gnome-session was the one that spawned two windowmanagers, I figured I'd start here. -jim -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (300, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-session depends on: ii gnome-panel 2.30.2-2 launcher and docking facility for ii gnome-session-bin 2.30.2-3 The GNOME Session Manager - Minima ii gnome-session-common 2.30.2-3 Common files for the GNOME session ii gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.2-2 daemon handling the GNOME session ii metacity 1:2.30.1-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii nautilus 2.30.1-2 file manager and graphical shell f ii policykit-1-gnome 0.96-2 GNOME authentication agent for Pol Versions of packages gnome-session recommends: ii gnome-power-manager 2.32.0-2 power management tool for the GNOM Versions of packages gnome-session suggests: ii desktop-base 5.0.6 common files for the Debian Deskto ii gnome-keyring 2.30.3-3 GNOME keyring services (daemon and ii gnome-user-guide 2.30.1-1 GNOME user's guide -- no debconf information
