1 Every time I boot into Linux and log into GNOME I have to start metacity
2 manually by su'ing in a terminal and issuing a
3
4 # metacity &> /dev/null &
5
6 before I can get title bars and such that goes with it. My wife's
7 computer does the same thing. Here's the info on my PC:

205 On camille I have re-merged metacity and emerge --emptytree gnome and
206 neither one helped. It's quite annoying everytime we log in having to
207 manually start metacity as other things open up that we have to close in
208 order to get to the gnome-terminal. Can anyone give me any advice on
209 how to fix this?
