Easiest thing is to create a ~/.Xclients file containing something like: strace -tt -o /tmp/startup-trace -f gnome-session Remember to chmod +x ~/.Xclients, and in gdm select the "Default" session which will run the .Xclients. Then look at /tmp/startup-trace or make it available for other people to look at. Havoc -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
