Lars, thanks for the suggestions, a new account does not have the same trouble, the new accoutn however does pop up the bug-buddy each login as the "show desktop" applet that is default installed crashes with each login.
ok , it appears the problem is associated with the services panel, accessed thru the menu->administration-> services. each time I log in, the window comes up at start, is 'greyed' out, sessions are not being saved, I have deleted the "save sessions" files in the gnome settings several times. yet, I am getting 3 or 4 windows, ie terminals, the services panel and a copy of nautilis coming up each login. two other facts, logging out leaves the processes running, so each time I log back into the account, new spawns are created, so log out and in four times and get four copies of the perl script running simultaneously. in essence creating a 'viral' behaviour initrd also owns anothe copy of both the services-admin and its spawned perl script, i had not looked far enough up in the ps list and missed this before. so, now i see both initrd AND gnome doing the same thing. this is freaking me out, i may need the patronizing people in white coats and meds soon This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
