It may have been a UID problem or it may have b een a permissions problem on ~/.dmrc. .dmrc should be -rw------- I tend to forget numbers when I don't use them for a while. Would that be chmod 600 /home/username/.dmrc? Just a guess. Like I said, it's happened to me but it's been a while and I don't recall for sure. Also could be permissions on /tmp. It is owned by root butt should also be writable by you for desktop. This could give you then disk space problem since (or if) you are unable to write to it. I also forget this one but it either needs SUID or "sticky" bit? Should be drwxrwxrwt _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
