First off, thanks for the replies! I've been going nuts over this, and it's great to know that there are people out there whoi are willing to help :) OK, so last night I gutted my systemm and started over with testing, as reccommended (and I think I fixed the wrapping issue too :). I'm back to testing now, and everything is working fine, except that startx still won't launch GNOME (even after adding 'gnome-session' to my ~/.session file). This confuses me, as I thought I had purged most of the relevant configs. Did GNOME 2 mess with something in nasty ways?
