This is very imprecise, so I fail to see how I could help you.<br>
<br>
Which applications are affected? Is the file chooser dialog only hidden<br>
behind the main window, or does it not display at all?<br>
<br>
Please send the output of this command:<br>
gconftool -R /apps/metacity/general<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>Sorry for being imprecise. I thought this bug occurred with ALL apps, but I checked and some apps work. The bug occurs with abiword, iceweasel, epiphany-browser, gthumb, kino, evince, and gnumeric. The bug does not occur with for example ooffice, konqueror and the gimp. The file chooser flashes, then disapears leaving the application hung (with the exception of evince) meaning it doesn't respond to clicks and I have to kill the application from the command line (though I don't have to use -9). <br>
