Hi

This happens every time on usual login via gdm:

Feb 22 23:22:05 vbook kernel: pid 942 (metacity), uid 207: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

And finally session starts without window manager.
Then, if I start metacity from xterm it works ok.

I've get such behavior after upgrade to marcus repo.

It is same with previous and the latest version of metacity:
Last tried version is:
metacity-2.9.21     A window manager for the adult in you

Any suggestions ?

gdb output below:
% gdb metacity metacity.core
GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD]

no global libmap mappings,
all related libraries built from marcus repository,
recent FreeBSD 6-CURRENT

Oh, I guess I've found the reason - 
OpenSSH-askpass-1.2.2.2001.02.24 utility kills metacity many times 
(it is started in my session by default).

Starting /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass kills metacity every time.
Looks like but in metacity.
