Public bug reported:

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 ?
