Hi Ross, Thanks for the advice. However, WINDOW_MANAGER is not being exported into my environment. I have had a bit more success this morning by recreating the user account that is having the problem and slowing copying files from my original home directory into the new directory. Doing so I discovered that one of my environment settings was interferring with gnome-session--LC_CTYPE=en_US. I can't remember why I set this but running `dpkg-reconfigure locales` fixed the problem (didn't matter what I choose as default locale). However, when I completely replaced the new home directory with the old one I'm getting a completely different bug--"Application 'gnome-settings-daemon' has crashed". This dialog pops up six times then Gnome hangs again at the splash screen. I've tried removing the .gconf* and .gnome* dirs and letting the system rebuild them. Still doesn't work. At this point, I'm just going to copy all my normal files to the new home directory and start over. Not a reasonable upgrade path but I've got to get on to other things. If anyone has suggestions for me, I'd be glad to try them to figure out why my system upgrade from Woody to Sid failed. In my humble opinion, the xserver-xfree86/gnome packages are not ready for distribution until this glitch is amended. Thanks, William -- Knowmad Services Inc. http://www.knowmad.com
