Guessing that these weren't set at build time? Sounds very similar to my issues the other day. As asked previously, how far did you go into the Gnome install? And here are my settings, only a guess, but try in this order: # Assuming GNOME_PREFIX=/usr export XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/share export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/etc/gnome/xdg export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/gnome/xdg update-desktop-database startx -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
