The plot thickens...
Metacity is running. Yet it seems only one login is affected by this
monstrosity, other logins appear to be ok (which it never occurred to me
to check before reinstalling Gnome- doh!). So I would logically conclude
that for some reason this login has no access to metacity. Selinux,
perhaps?
As for compiz- is that desktop effects? It would appear that it may be a
cause. How did you fix that problem? Did updates include anything for
compiz? It seems strange that it would suddenly occur right after
otherwise...
Thanks for the clues guys. Keep em coming though..
A Screwed up config file would do that, and reinstalling would not fix a
specific logins config file.
I remember that something freaks out like that if you are out of disk space, or
cannot access one of the files that it wants. Is that logins home directory
there and does it have the correct permissions? You might rename the .gnome*
directories and either let them be recreated if it will do that or copy in
someone elses with the correct permissions and see if it goes away, though on my
machine there are 4 separate .gnome* directories, not sure which it is using,
some may be from much older versions.
