i'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, or even better, a solution for it:
since i've upgraded to gnome-2.18.x i have to start metacity manually at least sometimes after logging in. that is, in about 1 of 4 logins, i don't have a usable desktop till i type "metacity" into some terminal. apart from this annoying behavior, gnome seems to be fine. here are some parts of my configuration: " $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 x86_64) [...] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" [...] USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo caps cddb cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode evo exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gd gdbm gif gimp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk hal hddtemp iconv icu ipod ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg jpeg2k lcms ldap libnotify lm_sensors mad matroska midi mikmod mmap mmx mmxext mono mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl plotutils png pppd python qt3support quicktime readline reflection ruby sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl ssse3 svg tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vcd vorbis xattr xml xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="canon konica ptp2 kodak" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" [...] " i'm using: x11-wm/metacity-2.18.5 USE="-debug -xinerama" x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.14 USE="X jpeg tiff -debug -doc -xinerama" gnome-base/gnome-session-2.18.3 USE="ipv6 tcpd -branding -debug -esd" gnome-base/gnome-light-2.18.3 also note, that the system i'm using has been installed from scratch just a bit more than a month ago and i'm having this problem ever since. thanks, matthias -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
