gnome-session-2.25.91-1.fc11 has same problems. Metacity is not started.
I tried to edit gconf schemas with gconf-editor as belows. And I copy gnome-wm.desktop to the directories as belows. Then metacity is started successfully. And a menu bar and a title bar with every window are appeared and works. 1. gnome-session schema change old : windowmanager=metacity new : windowmanager=gnome-wm 2. copy a gnome-wm.desktop file to /usr/share/applications/ /home/$USERNAME/.local/share/applications/ /home/$USERNAME/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow I think that new gnome-session needs gnome-wm instead of metacity. Don't you ?

After I applied latest rawhide updates, this problem is disappered. gnome-session-2.25.91-4.fc11.i586 GConf2-2.25.2-2.fc11.i586 gdm-2.25.2-8.fc11.i586 I don't know why.
