Hi Janina, I'll go read up on Gnome 2.8, but I was wondering what was allowing it to have a speaking login process, where as the other previous versions could not? This is pretty exciting actually...

Subject: Re: figured out Gnome problem Indeed. Might have thought of this before, so am commenting on it now for others. Gnome (and perhaps other X Window environments) has a screen that will pop up after you enter your password if the manager is unable to get to the Internet for whatever reason. In a general sort of way it warns you that some functionality may be unavailable and asks you to confirm that you want to proceed without networking--or fix the problem and try again. This is worth noting as it will come up especially for laptop users who may not be connected to the net from time to time. Of course, the real fix is a fully speaking login process. Fortunately, I believe this is now possible with Gnome 2.8 which has shipped. Igor Gueths writes: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all.
