I've been running openbox beneath gnome as my window manager for some time. Then today, for no reason, Gnome decided to crap out when it was loading. I think it gets hung up on trying to load it's *own* window manager, metacity. The Gnome startup splash screen gets hung with the text "Window Manager" and never finishes starting.
cat ~/.xinitrc: bbkeys -t & openbox & gnome-session Is there something I can do to tell Gnome not to bother loading it's own window manager? I tried setting the WINDOW_MANAGER env. variable as recommend in `man gnome` to "openbox" and changed by .xinitrc to: bbkeys -t & WINDOW_MANAGER=openbox gnome-session But then Gnome won't load either and still gets hung up with the text "Window Manager" on the splash screen. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Why is this the first time it has ever given me this problem? eric heller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
