From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Metacity hangs on start-up if there were quotes in a window title in the previous session. Exact behavior may depend on the title, since metacity attempts to interpret it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start galeon 2.Go to www.google.com 3.Search for "file too large" (including quotes) 4. Exit gnome session 5. Log in. Actual Results: Session start-up froze on metacity. Switching back to console, it had spit up a warning about a bad "file" attribute in this line: <window id="117f000001000104486417700000021040000" class="galeon_browser" name="Galeon" title="Google Search: "ssh file too large" - Galeon" role="" type="normal" stacking="2"> Editing the file under ~/.metacity/sessions to remove the quotes allowed the session to start normally. Additional info:
Fixed now.
