I'll have to try this (thanks Alex) but I'm not sure I agree it shouldn't go in the home directory. You might want it so one user get Gnome if they want it and another gets AfterStep. This seems like a personal preference and a bad idea to enforce on a system level anyway. Frankly I didn't see a way you could override anything through home directories, but I haven't tested it nor can I say I looked that close. - Matt John Summerfield wrote: > > > > > Not really.
