[snip] Ken....I don't have any accounts except my own and root (and I don't log in as root as I do system maintainance as 'su -') so I can't speak from personal experience on this problem but I believe you ought to check the permissions of your /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel file. It should be owned by root.root and the permissions should be set at 6755. The Application icons in each of the Autostart directories should be owned by the user (like ken.ken or wife.wife) and the permissions set to 644. Hope this helps. Alan
