re-emerging metacity doesn't seem to help.

it seems that all windows are missing borders
in my /etc/conf.d/rc.conf:
gdm for display manager
Gnome for sesson |

Actually, if i log in as root, things seem to be fine.
Copying all the root's .dot files to my user home doesnt' seem to help, wierd....appreciate any help |

Yep, this exact thing happened to me too.. except on my root account.. 
All borders on windows, and both menulines on top and bottom.. suddenly gone.. I suspect buggy nvidia drivers.. |

are you sure a window manager is running?
what happens when you try and run metacity? |

| When starting metacity, the borders around the window come back.. none of the bars.. then within a minute after starting metacity, the system crashes back to the login.. when logging in again, the borders are gone again.. and so on and so on... |

Turns out the saved session content is either broken or incompatible somehow. remove the session info under .gnome2 and use the default gnome session seem to solve the problem. |

| .gnome2 should be a hidden directory in your home directory. |
