There is no package metacity-dbg hence no symbols. The backtrace result doesn't look helpfully to me, see below. sg@t500sg:~/bin$ gdb metacity GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3-debian Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Additionally I had to 'kill -KILL' metacity to get access to the console window again to issue command 'set logging on', etc. Please give advice how to do better debugging.
