I haven't tried. Anyway the problem seems to have gone away since I upgraded Gnome-Utils, Control-Center and Gnome-Themes, deleted my old Gnome preferences directories and restarted Gnome.

It eventually starts up OK but it seems to be quite slow. -- /--Joona Palaste-------------------------------------------------------\ \----------------------------------------------palaste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
