I've got the same behavior today after second reboot since dist-upgrade on Thursday (2007-04-19).
There is a trace of it in my /var/log/apport.log: apport (pid 8871) Fri Apr 20 10:29:40 2007: executable: /usr/bin/metacity (command line "metacity --sm-save-file 1176762446-5049-2391774710.ms") apport (pid 8871) Fri Apr 20 10:29:42 2007: wrote report /var/crash/_usr_bin_metacity.1000.crash I'm attaching the crash report. ** Attachment added: "metacity crash report" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7365613/_usr_bin_metacity.1000.crash ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- [feisty] Metacity does not start with session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
