When starting my X session this morning there was a problem. The usual startup screen telling you that the window manager is starting up did not appear. The panel didn't load, there were icons on my desktop, but no names for the icons. Several nameless error boxes containing no words, but a red circle with a white minus symbol contained therein. I had to cntrl-alt-backspace to get out of X. The graphical login screen is fine. I was able to log in as root with no problems, but no luck with my regular user. I created a new user, and had no problems with that starting up the window manager. Anybody have a clue as to what is going on here? I'm running red hat 8.0 on an AMD XP1800+, 512MB DDRram, 40GB HD, K7S5A Motherboard, and SBLive!. Thanks.
