Good questions. The default setting on the log on screen is "Ubuntu"
(not compiz), whatever that means. Choosing a gnome session works just
fine and invokes a window manager. So this is not a bug in gnome-wm. I
guess that when the default session "Ubuntu" is selected, no window
manager is started at all, because .xsession-erros is empty. This is a
rather recent installation on a new machine, however with many custom
packages installed or removed.  I recently removed "indicator-appmenu
appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt" because I had problems with the
integrated menu in libreoffice and qgis (#1455234), maybe that is the
reason.
