I reassigned it to mutter, as I foudn out gnome-session decided
to use mutter instead of metacity at some point (without asking me)
and mutter has so many bugs.

I had to purge mutter from my computer to get gnome-session using metacity
again. Now also another bug (crash of gnome-settings-daemon is gone 553000).
So I guess most of the problems came from switching to mutter. I cloned
that bug and reassigned it to gnome-session.

Best wishes

Norbert

A perfectly reasonable explanation (Such as the one offered by a
person with a gurgling cough which has nothing to do with the fact
that they smoke fifty cigarettes a day.)
