Could be. Well, it fixed the lack of prefernces anyway. Now on to the next item: changing window manager. I just don't seem to be able to do it :-( For some reason it seems my changes in gconf-editor doesn't stick. I tried the trick with killing the current window manager and starting metacity from a command line and then saving the session, no luck! I even removed my whole ~/.gconf tree, but it seems to be initialised with the same things every time. I also tried editing the XML files myself, but through some magic the same window manager entry comes back in ~/.gconf all the time. I am somewhat confused! How do I do it? I am also curious where it finds the default. First I couldn't get out of BlackBox. Then I uninstalled it, and now I am stuck with WindowMaker. /M -- Magnus Therning ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
