-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's a user-level directory, which is _not_ installed by Fink. dot-directories and dotfiles are often created automatically by the application which uses them--if not then one copies a system version to create them.
I moved $HOME/.config on my system just now, and when I started GNOME metacity created a new one for me. So it sounds like something really wild is going on. I'm still totally mystified as to why you have to run quartz-wm first. I've got the following couple of ideas: 1) Without X11 running, try just running 'metacity' from a terminal and see if any error messages pop up--either in the terminal or in the console logs (e.g. via Console.app). You don't need to change your startup stuff--it will just complain about a window manager running already. Also check to see if $HOME/.config is created. 2) You might have some funky permissions. What do you get from "ls -ld $HOME" ? - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison On 6/24/10 6:39 PM, Richard Miles wrote: > I did what you said, but the .config metacity directory was not created.
