I'm not too thrilled with this upgrade. While it's nice to lock icons on panels (I also appreciate various bug fixes), I'm a bit miffled since it broke my pager. When I click in a workspace window in the pager, it switches to that workspace, but moves all windows around kinda funky. :( Oh well, still, I don't mind taking 3 steps forward and 1 back :) Regards, Frank signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Indeed it did!
Thanks for the help on this.
BTW, out of curoisity, Did I need to delete the ~/.g[nc]*
filles/directories? If I had not would they have been auto upgraded?
Looking foward to playing with Gnome 2.4, hope it's a step back twoard 1.4
from 2.2, which I loathe.

Heh... same thing happened to me. Here is what you need to do:
cd into /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm. There you find your gdm.conf. After the
cvsup, you have (or have a newer version of) factory-gdm.conf. A
comparison showed wha'ts missing. Go ahead and edit gdm.conf. Search for
"PostSessionScriptDir". You should see a path assigned to it. You should
also see a definition of "PreSessionScriptDir". What you don't see is
"PostLoginScriptDir". Go ahead and add to that section following line:
PostLoginScriptDir=/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/PostLogin/
Then restart gdm ("/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh stop" and
"/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start") and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Frank
