Well, you're right, he did say a "special" user (not the root) ... I see it now - with nobody logged in at the console: gdm 1435 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user gdm 1436 1435 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 (sd-pam) gdm 1437 1365 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session --autostart /usr/ gdm 1440 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gdm 1441 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 -- gdm 1611 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi-bus-launcher gdm 1622 1611 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-s gdm 1625 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd --use gdm 1638 1437 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/gnome gdm 1703 1437 0 11:12 ? 00:00:01 gnome-shell --mode=gdm gdm 1709 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target gdm 1747 1709 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper gdm 1749 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 gdm 1759 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/dconf-service gdm 1835 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/mission-control-5 gdm 1839 1 0 11:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/goa-daemon I didn't want to believe it, but now I see it with my own eyes. Thank you all for the info. Oh. I still haven't learned where it stores the configuration when it's not powered up. I don't even know where to look: $ man gnome No manual entry for gnome $ man gdm No manual entry for gdm _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
