The /usr/share/gnome/default.session file specifies --sm-client-id default0 for gnome-wm, but metacity doesn't seem to like getting passed a non-existent ID. gnome-session used to automatically save the session, and from a saved session this error doesn't happen.

But it begs the question: what is an application supposed to do with these "default0" session IDs? I think metacity is right to complain, but why does the default.session include these? I can't find any documentation.

Saving the session (from System->Preferences->Sessions->Session Options->Remember current applications) will cause this problem to go away.
