I had not copied the .local folder from my user folder to the new user folder. I did so, chowned it as owned by the new user, logged out and logged back in again as the new user and the new user did not have metacity! Now I'm getting somewhere. Something in my .local folder is where the problem lies. Here is the .local folder listing ("(0)" means the file is zero bytes): [jjj@Devil8 .local]$ ls -aR --width=2 .: . .. share ./share: applications .converted-launchers (0) desktop-directories gnome-do mime rhythmbox totem vlc ./share/applications: alacarte-made-1.desktop alacarte-made-2.desktop alacarte-made.desktop brasero-copy-medium.desktop brasero.desktop Brasero Disc Burner.desktop brasero-nautilus.desktop brasero-open-image.desktop brasero-open-playlist.desktop brasero-open-project.desktop compiz-gtk.desktop Control Center.desktop Disc Copier.desktop evince.desktop fedora-oooqs2.desktop fedora-Thunar-folder-handler.desktop fedora-thunar-settings.desktop Font Viewer.desktop gnomecc.desktop gnome-eog.desktop gnome-font-viewer.desktop gnome-gfloppy.desktop gnome-nautilus-autorun-software.desktop gnome-nautilus-browser.desktop gnome-nautilus.desktop gnome-nautilus-file-management-properties.desktop gpk-install-catalog.desktop gpk-install-file.desktop gstreamer-properties.desktop gthumb-import.desktop ibus.desktop ibus-setup.desktop javaws.desktop kde4-okularApplication_chm.desktop kde4-okularApplication_comicbook.desktop kde4-okularApplication_djvu.desktop kde4-okularApplication_dvi.desktop kde4-okularApplication_epub.desktop kde4-okularApplication_fax.desktop kde4-okularApplication_fb.desktop kde4-okularApplication_ghostview.desktop kde4-okularApplication_kimgio.desktop kde4-okularApplication_mobi.desktop kde4-okularApplication_ooo.desktop kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop kde4-okularApplication_plucker.desktop kde4-okularApplication_tiff.desktop kde4-okularApplication_xps.desktop liveinst.desktop manage-print-jobs.desktop metacity.desktop (I added this to the applications menu) mimeapps.list mimeinfo.cache mount-archive.desktop nm-openvpn.desktop nm-vpnc.desktop openoffice.org-javafilter.desktop openoffice.org-math.desktop OpenOffice.org Quickstarter 2.desktop padevchooser.desktop preferred-mail-reader.desktop preferred-web-browser.desktop qt4-qtconfig.desktop realplay.desktop redhat-email.desktop redhat-web.desktop userapp-gedit-8WS53U.desktop xscreensaver-properties.desktop ./share/desktop-directories: ./share/gnome-do: plugins-0.8.1.3 tmp ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3: addin-db-001 addins-setup.config repository-cache ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/addin-db-001: addin-data addin-dir-data fdb-lock (0) fdb-update-lock (0) host-index hosts ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/addin-db-001/addin-data: 1 ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/addin-db-001/addin-data/1: Do.ClassicInterface,1.0.maddin Do.Core,1.0.maddin Do.DockyInterface,1.0.maddin Do.GlassInterface,1.0.maddin Do.HUDInterface,1.0.maddin Do.Interface.Linux,1.0.maddin Do.MiniInterface,1.0.maddin Do.Platform,1.0.maddin Do.Platform.Linux,1.0.maddin Do.Universe,1.0.maddin ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/addin-db-001/addin-dir-data: usr_lib64_gnome-do_60a87e4e.data ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/addin-db-001/hosts: Do.addins ./share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/repository-cache: ./share/gnome-do/tmp: ./share/mime: aliases (0) generic-icons (0) globs globs2 icons (0) magic mime.cache packages subclasses treemagic types XMLnamespaces ./share/mime/application: x-extension-ICEauthority.xml ./share/mime/packages: user-extension-ICEauthority.xml ./share/rhythmbox: audioscrobbler.queue playlists.xml rhythmdb.xml rhythmdb.xml.old ./share/totem: ./share/vlc: ml.xspf I hope someone can tell me what part of the .local folder is causing metacity not to be launched on login. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
