metacity doesn't start automatically

[jworr]

Renaming the files gnome-wm.desktop metacity.desktop in the .local/share/applications directory fixed it! Good job figuring this out!

Moving the files gnome-wm.desktop metacity.desktop in the .local/share/applications directory fixed it for me as well!
Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately rm-ing the files didn't work for me. I use compiz and suddenly it doesn't start automatically anymore. Another user has no problems, so with me too it's in my home dir.

I suspect the 'Automatically remember running apps' function: turned it on, didn't like how it worked, turned it off again. Unfortunately, removing everything in

 ./config/gnome-session/saved-session/

doesn't work either.

Any idea's?

I was slow to upgrade, but removing the .desktop files from .local/share/applications worked for me.

thanks,
