How are you starting gnome? gdm? startx? Need some more details about the startup. This sounds like gnome-settings-daemon isn't running. Normally, this should be started by gnome-session. Or possibly that dbus isn't running. I'd highly recommend dbus because there are a lot of gnome-2.18 apps that want to use it. Assuming you have dbus (and the system bus is running), this should work from startx: dbus-launch gnome-session I'd suggest you start the debugging there. Maybe you can see some output on the console. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
