Metacity no longer loads for me as a regular user who is a member of the wheel group. It does for root. Any ideas what might be causing this? It started about three or four weeks ago when I was playing with wine. Thereafter, in retrospect, metacity has not loaded. In the mean while I have updated to xorg 7.3 and Gnome 2.20, thinking erroneously that one of these may have been the cause. I am on 6.2-R-p7 with the nVidia driver 1.0.9639. Metacity itself has the correct permissions. Loading it from a terminal window (as a non-root user) once Gnome has loaded corrects the various and sundry issues as you would expect. I start gnome using "startx" and not gdm; .xinitrc simply contains "exec gnome-session." The expected services are started in rc.conf. Any guidance would be most appreciated. Frank
