           Summary: Gnome hangs loading metacity; works only if "failsafe
                    gnome" is selected
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: P2
         Component: metacity

        ReportedBy: pinkisntwell at gmail.com

This happened after I made a reboot while saving my session. When ubuntu started
again, it would hang loading metacity if I selected "last session" or "GNOME".
It starts normally if I select "Failsafe GNOME."

My ~/.xsession-errors file:
