It is true that I don't have the /Work directory present. I actually am getting many lines of the: "fcntl: Bad file descriptor" in my .xsession-errors file of late. It may not be related to the themes issue. The first line seems to be though. What is "fcntl"? Is this a clue? --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** *Reg.
