$ fink desc gnome-base Information about 10088 packages read in 1 seconds. gnome-base-2.4.1-1: GNOME Removal convenience package This package doesn't install any files of itself, it allows easy removal of GNOME. So it sounds like "fink remove --recursive gnome-base" is the operation you want. > Also, I have Xquartz set for full-screen.

I found Xquartz.plist under /opt/X11 etc., I'd have expected to look in $HOME/Library/Preferences. What you threw out appears to be the default version property list file that generates a preference file in $HOME/Library/Preferences. On 10.5 that's $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist but I'm not sure what Xquartz does on 10.6. Does Command-Option-A not switch you? And does the "auto-show-menubar" option not work or isn't turned on? > but throwing it out did not do any good. Are there any other preference > files for Xquartz or X11 I could throw away? We don't support Xquartz on 10.6, by the way. > > Hopefully, someone can help.
