dear Stephen do vi /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP="GNOME" also pls check when you get the login screen do you see "session" there, if yes click and check whether GNOME is there or not select it and hopefully it will work!! regards, bimal _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
