You don't need this. GNOME will remember your window manager across sessions. Once you set things up for metacity, GNOME will spawn that each time it starts. >=20 > It seems I keep getting layers and layers of desktops and the "taskbar" a= t > the bottom of the window gets obfuscated.

Perhaps a screen shot would help visualize what you're seeing. The respawn thing is normal. Nautilus is set to respawn once it is killed. You can change this by going into the session settings, and setting Nautilus to something like Normal. >=20 > Is nautilus part of Gnome 2.0 or part of metacity?! Nautilus is a component of GNOME. It _is_ the GNOME 2 desktop. It is responsible for drawing the icons for Home, Start Here, Trash, etc.=20 Metacity is simply a window manager; like twm, afterstep, blackbox, etc. It is responsible for drawing the window decorations (title bars, window handles, etc.).
