Having more than one version of GNOME on a system offers some unique
opportunities to get into mischief.
A puzzle:
---------
I launch the GAROME environment in a standard manner, using a .xinitrc
file that runs another script
/usr/local/bin/garnome-session.sh
which sets some environment variables and then runs
/opt/garnome/bin/gnome-session
Today I got a surprise:
* Create a new user account [no GNOME dot files]
* forget to add the GARNOME .xinitrc file [oops...]
* run "startx"
Surprise of surprises, the garnome splash screen appears and the GARNOME
environment starts up, albeit badly since
/opt/garnome/bin
is not in the search path.
Hmmm... What's going on???
I expected to see the Yellow Dog Linux gnome-2.6 desktop appear.
A quick "grep -r" of the new user's dot files fails to find any file
containing the word "garnome".
If I:
* rename
/opt/garnome => /opt/garnome-
* clean out all the dot gnome files from the new user account
* run "startx"
I get the YDL gnome-2.6 desktop.
Thoughts???
