I've committed stupidity.  Please don't beat me up
too much... even though I deserve it.

I've been experimenting with different security
settings and locked myself out of the gnome
terminal window.  Even worse, I don't really know
which setting I changed that produced the problem.
I know, I should only changed one thing at a time.

I've recovered everything except the terminal
emulator windows.  When I open one, it just
disappears.  At least gnome gives an error.

Here's the error : 
-------- --------- --------- ------- ---------- 
There has been an error while trying to
log in.

If you are using Linux 2.2.x with glibc 2.1.x,
this is probably due to incorrectly setting up
Unix98 ptys.

Please read Linux/Documentation/Changes for how to
correctly set them up.
-------- --------- --------- ------- ----------

I've searched my entire system looking for the
documentation refered to by the error message, but
I've not found it.

Does anyone know how I can fix it?

I can run X (via startx), and all the gui stuff, I
can log into a regular terminal before running X
(startx), obviously.

Thanks.

Feeling stupid....  But hey, one doesn't
experiment one doesn't learn. ...right? ;-)
