** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: metacity
+ To trigger the bug easily:
+ - open the session capplet, activate automatic session saving on logout
+ - open an emacs windows (or anything else not handling session saving
correctly)
+ - close your GNOME session
+ - open a new one
- I'm not sure what's the cause of this, but I have this problem on two
different HP Companc nc6320 laptops.
- After loging in, all saved Windows from my previous session are restored, but
on top of each other and without Window manager elements (no title bar, close
button, resize possibility...). The only way to get a working Gnome again, is
by removing the .gnome2 folder. The problem only appeared in Feisty around 10
april on my first machine and today on the second, so I guess it's a new Feisty
bug. On this machine, I've found a metacity crash report, with a timestamp from
the moment I shut down the machine yesterday. I have the "save session option"
on, so it might be possible that part of the crashed state is "saved" in my
session or something like that.
+ There is no window manager started
