I installed gnome-shell and gnome3-session in Maverick.

gnome-shell 2.31.5-2ubuntu2

I also installed gnome-shell 2.91 from git, no changes

Thanks for reporting this bug and help to make ubuntu better.

That's because you save your session (System -> Preferences > Session). You have to not save it and remove the saved one (~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session)

That's an upstream issue in gnome-session (please report it to upstream bugzilla), but not related to mutter. I had to patch the UNE session to avoid such an issue, but it's more a hack than anything else and don't want to generalize to the full desktop…

affects: mutter (Ubuntu) → gnome-session (Ubuntu)

You are perfectly right, this solved the problem
Thanks for that.
I'll report it in bugzilla, but is it gnome-session or gnome3-session related ?

Thanks again

Bug report did not expire due to bug watch.

Upstream issue was closed "RESOLVED FIXED" on 2010-11-10
so no doubt included in Ubuntu shortly after that date.
