I've not used the blackdown 1.4.1 yet, but I have used the sun 1.4.1. I seem to recall a similar problem with it at first - running the app (or any app) once as root created the required system prefs and from then on it was quite happy to run apps as a normal user (without making the system prefs world writable). -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock University of Leicester phone: (+44) 116 252 3902 UK GPG: 7D025C00 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
