Bug#275574: After upgrade of gnome-session and sawfish, starting gnome fails

[Andreas Barth]

Package: gnome-session,sawfish
Severity: serious

Hi,

after upgrading gnomesession and sawfish from woody to sarge, login
takes ages and sawfish is not started afterwards (so that I'm left with
no window manager at all). I think that is a very bad state.

After some debugging, replacing the files /etc/gnome/default.* with the
ones in /usr/share/gnome/default.*, going in via xterm and starting the
control panel by hand, I managed to replace sawfish finally by metacity,
and that worked at last.


Cheers,
Andi
