Bug#531580: gnome-session: does not start my preferred window-manager

[Nicolas Évrard]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.26.1-5
Severity: important

The new release of gnome-session insists on using metacity eventhough
I did the usual "openbox --replace" / Save Session combo in order to
use it the next time I log in.

Moreover, switching to openbox has the effect that gnome-session
starts to consume 10/15 % of my CPU while when I use metacity,
gnome-session use only few CPU cycles.

BTW, is it mandatory that gnome-session depends on metacity ?
