Go to the console and run it through startx. You can just invoke metacity as your regular window manager. echo xterm > ~/.xinitrc Then from the fresh xterm, you can run metacity through gdb. Maybe it won't be triggered, though, unless you run a full gnome-session. Matthias' suggestion might be easier, though. -- Dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
