hm.m. strike my lightdm comment above as I said that I saw it under Xephyr.
I just tested here on precise development system: { echo '#!/bin/sh'; echo "metacity &"; echo xterm; } > /tmp/go ; chmod 755 /tmp/go ; xinit /tmp/go -- $(which Xephyr) :8 $ dpkg-query --show metacity xserver-xephyr metacity 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4 xserver-xephyr 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu5 So it looks like "fix-released" to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794771 Title: metacity doesn't start, dies with "metacity:ERROR:ui/ui.c:754:meta_ui_get_default_window_icon: assertion failed: (default_icon)" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/794771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
