That may be your problem. Logically speaking, there should be at least one password to protect it. Whether that be you logging into your desktop, or you typing in the keyring password after an auto-login. I have seen others write about getting their system so they didn't have to type in a keyring password, but I don't recall whether any of them had a password-less desktop log-in, as well. > I do not suffer from the paranoia that seems endemic among IT gurus. No house guests? No smart-alec friends who'll set your desktop wallpaper to show naked hairy guys? Heck, even I'd be tempted to prank some friends, if I could find a funny picture that I wouldn't get a punch in the face for it. And I did pay out Mum with various animal noise sound effects on her Windows PC. I actually had to undo the hairy guy example on someone's Windows PC, a few years back. Every time he booted, these two guys flashed up for a moment, then disappeared to be replaced by *his* choice of wallpaper. He didn't know about the difference between active desktop wallpaper, and wallpaper without active desktop. He couldn't work out how to remove the unwanted picture, he thought choosing his own picture would fix it. But one goes on top of the other, his choice was applied to the active desktop, which starts a few moments later, on top of the plain desktop. Naturally, seeing as I had an audience of two more people, and several reboots would be needed to sort out his system, I left that little gem as the last thing to repair. Methinks he'll be very careful about right-click save-as-wallpaper in his web browser in the future. ;-) -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
