I'm getting the problems with different accounts too. None of them are major but part of the reason I've become unhappy with Gnome is that when these small and relatively unimportant problems come up I'm finding it increasingly difficult fix them manually. A lot of the config info is difficult to find and amend and it seems unnecessarily obscure. ratpoison :) I'll have a look at it but I generally don't have any launchers on the desktop. Daft place to put them, imo, because there's always a window covering them up when I working.
