Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.26.2-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I upgraded to the latest gnome-session in squeeze yesterday. I have compiz installed but use metacity. After logging out once today,
when I logged back in, compiz was started instead of metacity. When I look at the compiz applet, it says metacity is running even though
compiz is. When I click on metacity as the window manager to set it as the window manager again even though it says it is already what is running,
X restarts and when I login to gnome compiz is running instead of metacity. I don't want metacity because something is not set up right in that I
can't drag windows from the title bar and my ati graphics card doesn't do direct rendering in compiz. In order to get matacity back, I uninstalled compiz.
There is probably some fiddling around I could do to make compiz work right but for now I just want something that works. I have had similar problems in the
past where compiz wants to take over. Usually I could get it fixed by reselecting metacity in the compiz applet.
