-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 well i guess that was something i dint try after installing the new X. but i tried it now, and i get the same behavior. note that i got twm to work. so i think its a gnome specific problem, but not having anything to do with userlevel or /etc/ config files. just a hunch. i am providing links to some files someone may find useful. thanks
