I thought I'd mention this since I haven't modified .xinitrc at all, and many other users probably haven't either. Thus, they might not even start gnome-session, even though a gnome session was selected under gdm. > The screen just stayed blue (or whatever), and nothing was > started?

Very little. .xsession-errors is empty, the following is .gnome-errors: ***** BEGIN .gnome-errors ***** /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: checking /etc/login.defs for option UMASK /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: /etc/login.defs: "UMASK" is "022" /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: checking /etc/login.defs for option ULIMIT /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: checking /etc/login.defs for option MAIL_DIR /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: /etc/login.defs: "MAIL_DIR" is "/var/mail" /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: using /etc/X11/Xsession.options for options /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: checking /etc/X11/Xsession.options for option allow-user-resources /etc/gdm/Sessions//Gnome: checking /etc/X11/Xsession.options for option allow-user-modmap SESSION_MANAGER=local/cthulhu:/tmp/.ICE-unix/18845 You may only run one window manager ** (gnome-panel:18901): WARNING **: Unable to load panel stock icon 'go' ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Applications ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Accesories ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Other ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Programming ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Games ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Graphics ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Internet ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Multimedia ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Office ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Preferences ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Advanced ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Sawfish ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Accessibility ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: System ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: System ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Preferences ----- EXTERNALLY WATCHING: preferences:/// EXTERNALLY WATCHING: preferences:/// ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Advanced ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: System ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Accessibility ----- ----- RELOADING FOLDER: Sawfish ----- EXTERNALLY WATCHING: preferences:///sound.desktop ***** END .gnome-errors ***** > > Let me know if there are specific files or directories you would like to > > compare (such as the old and the new .gnome/.gnome2 dirs).

I'll send you a URL to them. I have one box that is 'pristine' (never run the experimental packages on it, pure sid). I'll make those available too. --- Rick L.
