It may be related to a bug report i made : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/157780
Basically the command to save the session look at the Gconf key to get the WM name and i noticed this key is not updated which make your session still launching your old WM. Check if my bug description correspond to your problem, first thing is to verify that your Gconf key points to /usr/bin/metacity and not /usr/bin/compiz -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
