Still no joy. gnome-session-properties sets the properties for whichever user runs it, so you shouldn't run it as root (since it's a bad idea to log in graphically as root anyway - in fact, if you did so in the past, it might be causing some of the problems you're having). Some of what I read about .ICEauthority on Google indicated that it might be a permissions problem, so you could try logging into a VT and checking for files in your home directory not owed by you (for example, files owned by root): find ~myusername ! -user myusername -print If you find such files, change the permission by su'ing to root and run chown -R -c myusername:myusername ~myusername or just change them individually in case there are manually created files that are actually supposed to be owned by someone else (normally there wouldn't be). BTW, I did have some trouble getting session saving to work even after updating mutter, and had to do some stumbling around, deleting the files in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session, unchecking and rechecking the option in g-s-p, etc. before it would work. It's still not perfect as it doesn't always remember what workspace each application was in (for example, having one gnome-terminal in workspace 1 and another in workspace 2, logging out and back in puts both of them in workspace 1) but at least I can log in normally. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
