I have the same problem with metacity. I also use Ubuntu 9.04. After a reboot metacity does not start but only at my account. The other accounts doesn't have this problem. "Automatisch die laufenden Programme beim abmelden merken" (save with program runs on shutdown and start this programs the next time) is disabeled and metacity is my standard windows-manager.
I had the same problem a few month ago also with Ubuntu 9.04. It was exactly the same, also with the user-üproblem, that only at one user is the problem. -- Metacity fails to start on log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
