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.
This could be related to a bug in xfree86 that was discussed recently on an XonX forum, see https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2155420

Alexander- yes, I did start from terminal (startx -- -fullscreen, if I remember correctly) and used the terminal output to provide keywords for the archive search. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the output was and the machine is in my shop so I can't try it now.
Martin- When I return to the shop Tuesday, I'll try other resolutions. Obviously, the ability to work rootless greatly decreases concern about the problem. I am using the same setup in both Full Screen and Rootless modes on a 15" G4 Ti PB.
Thanks as always for your help and suggestions.
Regards,
Stan
