This would help to narrow down the problem somewhat. Gnome - There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon Somethings, such as themes, sounds or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times Failed to activate 'OAFID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon' WM - start without problems. Under kde, the startup wav doesn't play, but I haven't noticed any other lack of sound. Not only does xmms work correctly, but I'm getting sounds when emails arrive. I'm not worried about the loss of the startup wav, just the fact that it appears to have disappeared when I changed to the new /usr, so may have more significance. So far, I have run kmail, mozilla, gimp, xsane, AisleRiot, kword, xmms-cd, win4lin, mcc, kuickshow and kwikdisk. Everything seems to be fine. Anne
