Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.30.0-1
Severity: important
When zsh used as login shell certain part of a gnome-session won't work.
All windows are attached to the left upper corner and only a root cursor
is displayed.
A test with other window managers eg. awesome revealed that this problem
solely occurrs with metacity as wm.

This sounds indeed like metacity not starting;
How did you test other window managers? By setting $WINDOW_MANAGER?
Do you have any relevant output in .xsession-errors?
Cheers,

Mmh, I did not test them in a gnome-session. To choose I have these
lines in ~/.xinitirc
case "$1" in
urxvt) exec /usr/bin/urxvt;;
dwm) exec /usr/bin/dwm;;
awe) exec /usr/bin/awesome;;
gno) exec /usr/bin/gnome-session
esac

No, after quitting gnome-session .xsession-errors remains empty.

Sorry but I can’t reproduce that here. There must be something wrong in
a script of yours.

Mmh, I don't see what script, normally I start with startx and an empty
.xinitrc.
Anyway, as far as I am concerned this bug can be closed, I switched back
to awesome again which works flawlessly.
Thanks a lot
