I've looked at the archives but haven't found anything effective.

I installed Fink from scratch on a new 17" G4 iMac. I activated the unstable branch, installed XFree86 v 4.3 and Gnome2. I'm using Metacity as my window manager. All files are up-to-date. I've also installed and am using a number of applications, all of which are working (Gnumeric, Scribus, Gimp, etc.).

However, things work only if I start up in Rootless mode. If Full Screen is selected, X-windows quits shortly after the Gnome splash screen appears.

I've seen suggestions re: removing/replacing the .Xauthority file. I also saw a comment that it wasn't likely to be related to 4.3 problems.

This isn't a high priority item since everything works with rootless. It would be nice, however, to have a choice. I was hoping someone might have a good idea about the most likely cause; I don't want to do something that might break what's working!

Thanks,

Stan
