If that doesn't get things running again, kill the x-windows session - the process is called gnome-session. This effictively logs you out and should get you the login prompt again. Don't reboot the system untill you've tried everything. Another sugestion (besides using -o to redirect output to a file) is to truss the GUI related processes by means of a remote login. That way the truss itself does not depend on the GUI functionality. _J -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C.
