I used to use Ximian Gnome, but after having too many problems, I switched to the Debian packages under unstable. It didn't do the trick but it gave me an idea - I deleted everything from the ~/,gnome/session file and saved a blank file. Logically, more or less the same as what you suggested but done by hand. Now those irritating windows have gone. One thing - Ximian is too much of a drain on RAM to run on anything but a real top-end box. Thanks for the help. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com

I can still run all my gnome apps, but without the panel, and gmc (or even worse, Nautilus...)

Now I run Gnome Panel, Midnight Commander and WindowMaker under potato r3 and never had any problems since. I noticed that problem happened since I used save the last session feature. I removed ~./gnome/session file and it didn't work, but then I removed ~./gnome/ folder and that worked... This is a crude method, but it worked for me... Take care, Davor
