Users unable to select their own window manager in X.

2005-08-29 Thread modelt20
Hello All: Last week, I did a CVSup on all ports, and then did a portupgrade over the weekend. The portupgrade completed successfully, without significant errors. Now, normal users are no longer able to set their own window manager (e.g. fvwm2) in X, but logging in as root, I can. The user's

Hello Kevin: Thank you for your input. The permissions on fvwm2 are: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 355452 Aug 26 10:13 /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2* It appears the fvwm2 has been upgraded; and its one (or more) of the dependent files that is causing the issue. Thanks. On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 08:45:18

Hello All: Roland had the right answer for this problem. There was a .fvwm2rc in the user's directory that was left over from before the portupdate. Deleting this file and allowing fvwm2 to recreate it solved the problem. Thanks! On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:09:43 +0200, Roland Smith wrote: On

Hi! I have my X windows configured to launch Gnome by default (like page 150 of the handbook), and it seems to work fine. It looks great, functions well, and all seems good. When I exit Gnome, however (using the 'Action' 'Logout' menu item), I get several warnings: (nautilus : 1348) WARNING**:
