Can you perhaps explain how you are starting the session where you see 
this problem?

It should only be possible to have one window manager running at a time 
on a given X display, so I'm not quite sure what you are describing here.

I assume this is something in the Xsession init scripts (which are 
unfortunately complex) which is launching the "toolbar" unconditionally.

Unless you want to dive into those, uninstalling the package which 
provides the unwanted program might be the way to go.


I'm afraid all the "Desktop Environments" we currently ship are rather 
old and unmaintained.  Somewhere in my vast backlog of stuff, I'd like 
to (a) remove the heavyweight ones i.e. GNOME and KDE, and (b) update 
the others which are actually used by someone.  But that seems 
increasingly unlikely to happen.
