gnome problems under slackware

Hi greg,
You don't need to start gnopernicus from a text console.
the way I do it is login to gnome, then press alt-f2 to bring up the 
run dialogue. I then type gnopernicus and press enter. gnopernicus 
hsould come up taling if you have gnome-speech configured properly.

I then go ahead and login, by typing my username and password as usual. After that, I hear a very small amount of hd activity, just like I do when logging in on a text console.
