From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: I can not login with gnome-session any more after changing my graphics card and mainboard. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.8.0-4 metacity-2.8.6-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Not reproducible on all machines!) 1. try to log in as normal user with GNOME Actual Results: While loading Metacity that is displyes on the splash screen there is not much progress. After a very long time some startup applications are loaded. There is no window manager! Expected Results: Metacity should be loaded quickly and then nautilus and then the startup apps. Additional info: I only have this error on one user. I have tried to delete .gconf* or .gnome* - but hat does not change anything. i can log in as root with gnome or any other user. I can not detect any errors. I can start a good looking gnome session with "gnome-session --failsafe" if I start this with the right $DISPLAY set from console. KDE is also running fine. I think this should never happen. It leaves the user no choice but deleting the whole directory.
this was a result of mixing FC3 with FC4testing3 if I recall correctly.
