Because if you pulled your head out of your ass and read what I said instead of telling me how much better KDE is which is my usual desktop anyway, you'd have seen IT WASN'T THE HOME DIRECTORY ONE. IT WAS SYSTEM WIDE... And I don't log in as root, so, obviously it's not a user account .gnome or .kde issue is it? No. > You owe the oracle 100 repititions of "Linux is not Windows" And you owe "I can't read and appear incompetent" to everyone on here. Shit I asked for help with Gnome, I didn't say give me your opinion on what desktop is better.

No, it didn't, and I pointed that out in my second reply. > I've had a similar thing happen with my .kde directory. That's super. But it has nothing to do with it or GNOME WOULD WORK WHEN I LOGGED IN AS ROOT OR THE OTHER USER ACCOUNT I MADE FOR THIS STUFF WOULDN'T IT.... No wonder people don't switch, I've been using FreeBSD, Slackware and SUSE for 4 years now and seen maybe 10% of the total questions not bring up what's better in desktops or distros. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
