When I give the startx command, Gnome comes up partly with gibberish and hangs. Ctrl-Alt F1 gives me a message that says: (nautilus:1439): Eel-WARNING **: GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file 'home/bob/.gconfd/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory. The gnome.org site doesn't seem to address corrective actions for this. I may not know what they mean by NFS. I'm running Ext3 file system. Can anyone offer some guidance? Bob McLaughlin
