This indicates to me that maybe your window manager is not being session managed by GNOME. For instance, do you specify a window manager before "exec gnome-session". You need to specify the window-manager you want to use with the gnome-control-center. Then everything should be hunky-dory. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
