My system started up as described above with the exception that I can click on the menu bar and close a program by clicking on File -> close - just no title bar or window decorations. In addition, the focus was not properly directed to open windows and I could not type in my password in Keepass, for example, but I could click on the cancel button. The top panel showed open windows that I had previously closed. I was able to restore the window manager by typing xfwm4 --replace in a terminal window. I can attach additional logs if that would be helpful, just not sure which ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to a duplicate bug report (883706). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495361 Title: [Xubuntu] No window manager at startup Status in The Metacity Window Manager: Invalid Status in Xfce4 window manager: Unknown Status in “xfwm4” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xfwm4 Sometimes (twice for the last 3 or 4 reboots), I get no window manager at startupt. By that, I mean - no window borders (title, maximize, close,...) - window top left of screen - focus when mouse over the window (instead of clicking) - no panel, etc... I can Alt-F2 to run xfwm4 and everything goes fine. Panels are created, just as normal. I run an up to date 9.10 Xubuntu. xfwm4 version 4.6.1 (revision 29817) for Xfce 4.6.1 I don't see anything relevant in the syslog and other logs. There is this dodgy line : "WARNING: Could not launch application 'metacity.desktop': Unable to start application: L'exécution du processus fils « metacity » a échoué (Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type)" But is it also there when it works, and anyway, I believe metacity is not xfwm4. Somehow, I'm kinda glad it is reproducible from times to times : Is there something I should try ? What information should I provide ?
