Mat,

What do you see in the syslog when a standard user logs in? Any
references to 'metacity failed"? 
Could you expound on what you mean by "loads on the client fine",but not
automatically on logon?...

Is there any difference if you change the logon session from default
Gnome to KDE,for example?
Does root see the same behaviour? No minimize,max,etc?

On a client ,in  a terminal when doing a  'ps aux|grep metacity' do you
see something like:

 username   8041  0.1  0.2  16392  7380 ?        Ss   18:44   0:00
metacity --sm-client-id=default1

I would guess at the server console any user sees the min,max,as
expected?



Take Care,
Barry Cisna
