For the newly created user a default Gnome session consists of the
following processes
/usr/sbin/gdm3
\_ /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-simple-slave
--display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display1
\_ /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -verbose -novtswitch
-auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-mYMD6w/database -nolisten tcp
vt7
\_ /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-session-worker
\_ gnome-session
\_ /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch
--exit-with-session gnome-session
\_ /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
\_ gnome-power-manager
\_ /usr/bin/gnome-shell
| \_ gnome-terminal
| \_ gnome-pty-helper
| \_ bash
| \_ ps axwfu
\_ update-notifier
\_ /usr/lib/evolution/3.0/evolution-alarm-notify
\_ /usr/lib/gnome-disk-utility/gdu-notification-daemon
\_ kerneloops-applet
\_ gnome-screensaver
\_ nm-applet
\_ python /usr/bin/system-config-printer-applet
Before I used to see a /usr/bin/metacity in the tree below
gnome-session.

Exactly.

Yes, it is. I use to run compiz.

Yes, that's the way it seems to me, because of the segfaults logged
to /var/log/messages whenever I try to log into a default GNOME session.

'Unfortunately' not.
