Hmmm. If you create a brand-new "dummy" user, does it have the problem? For that matter, does it run the same window manager as the root user? Perhaps it is a problem with dotfiles in the root user's home directory, or specifically with the wm that root runs. It's pretty unlikely to be permissions, unless the fact that plain users *can't* do something is defending you. strace might be called for at this point... except, I can't think of a way to force it to sync, so that the crash would reveal something useful :( Magic SysRq only works if you're at a console; the problem happens at an X session. sigh. -* Heather Stern * Starshine Technical Services * [EMAIL PROTECTED] *-
