The trick of renaming your ~/.gnome*/ directories will check whether this is the problem. They contain the settings in them. If personal settings are not there, Gnome falls back to default settings. So you can still run Gnome, but any customisations you have made to the settings will not appear. > Shall I rename all above "/.gnome" and /.gnome2" directories? You don't need to do it one by one. Just "mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome.bak" and "mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2.bak" That will move those directories and all their contents. Then log out, log in again, and restart Gnome. > > If the daemon starts next time you try to login, you know where > > to look ;-) ..ie, the problem is somewhere in the directories you moved away. At this stage, you can move parts of them back bit by bit if you want to narrow it down (perhaps .gnome but not .gnome2 and then the other way around, and so on). Or you can just consider it fixed :) Telsa _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
