Thanks for the reply,
Below is the output of the metacity command:
jack@Speeduke:~$ metacity &
[1] 5844
jack@Speeduke:~$ Window manager warning: "<Alt>Button3" found in
configuration d
atabase is not a valid value for keybinding "activate_window_menu"
Window manager warning: "<Alt>Button1" found in configuration database
is not a
valid value for keybinding "begin_move"
Window manager warning: "<Alt>Button2" found in configuration database
is not a
valid value for keybinding "begin_resize"
Also
when I started gnome-terminal from that point it gave me a completely
working terminal... I tried to capture the profile as the default and
restarted my normal login... No Improvemnt....
The above looks like somthing to work on..???
What next Coach???
Thanks, Alex..
