Thanks. > You could try using mv to rename ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private in order to temporarily get rid of them, then log out without saving your current setup. Before you log back, just to make sure you really are using gnome, use the SESSION button at the bottom of the screen to set your session to GNOME. When you now log in you'll be starting over setting up your gnome default parameters. Main Menu --> System Tools --> Terminal will start up the first gnome-terminal window. If you like what you've got, then you might as well completely delete the renamed files; otherwise you can restore their old names. -- Steven Yellin -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
