Avviso del window manager: Lo schermo 0 sul display «:0.0» ha già un window manager; provare a utilizzare l'opzione --replace per sostituirlo.

[frafra@rocketman ~]$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
Avviso del window manager: Received a _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message for 0x4a00003 (Aggiungi/R); these messages lack timestamps and therefore suck.

Expected results:
Gnome shell should magically appear :D
