I had a similar sounding problem once when I didn't have my hostname set up properly. X needs to connect to a host (in this case, localhost / your-hostname) and because I didn't have a localhost entry in /etc/hosts, it took a long time for anything that needed a new window to figure out what to do. So you could check /etc/hosts. -- Iain Buchanan <iain@nospam.pcorp.com.au> What one fool can do, another can. -- Ancient Simian Proverb
