Jim:
Thanks for the response. I tried metacity --replace and when I press
<ENTER> the window headers immediately appear. metacity does nothing
for a few minutes and then prints;
[root at localhost knute]# metacity --replace
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2600007
specified for 0x2600023 (Input).
and then nothing. It does not return to the prompt. If I kill
metacity the window headers immediately disappear.
Anything else I can try? Why would it work fine for root but not me?
Thanks,
