ok would try that, just to inform the number of things which were tried so
everybody knows.
actually the command which u gave in the morning DISPLAY=:0 metacity
--replace && use to give a warning
shirish @ubuntu $ Window Manager manager warning "found in
configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding
"toggle_shaded"
which escalated to the afternoon to :-
shirish @ubuntu $ Window Manager manager warning "found in configuration
database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"
Window Manager error= " Unable to open X display 0"
which further escalated when trying to use the same route
(CTRL+ALT+F1) on console :-
shirish @ubuntu $ Window Manager manager warning "found in configuration
database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"
xlib: connection to "0.0" refused by server
xlib: No protocol specified
Further things tried by seb128 :-
gconftool --2 --get /desktop/gnome/application window_manager/default ?
/usr/bin/metacity
failed to get a value for '?' Bad key or directory name '?" Must begin
with a slash (/)
was asked if there was any .dmrc directory in /home/username which
was replied in negative
was asked to move the file ~/.gnome2/session which had no effect
then tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall metacity_common which
again did not result into anything better
The only solution which works in the meanwhile is typing
'metacity' without the quotes in terminal brings all window decorations
etc.
Micah Cowan will try moving ~/gnome too & will report how it goes but
tomorrow morning, as its already past 12 a.m. here.
