Description Guillaume Rousse 2011-07-26 21:27:02 CEST 
Since latest update:
- gdm takes 30s before displaying greeter-windows
- gnome shell session fails to start

Here is related error message in logs, when gdm finally displays greeter windows:
Jul 26 20:36:46 localhost gnome-session[12646]: WARNING: Application 'metacity.desktop' failed to register before timeout

Comment 1 Christiaan Welvaart 2011-07-29 14:36:30 CEST 
when I ran metacity after setting METACITY_VERBOSE=42 , its verbose output contains:

SM: Compiled without session management support

which might be the cause of this session registration problem.

Probably just missing:
BuildRequires: libsm-devel


I've built that locally, but cannot test right now.... will do so in a few hours and push if it works.
Comment 3 D Morgan 2011-07-29 14:52:14 CEST 
maybe it worked for me because i had this BR on my machine.

i will test too
