1. This is a non-networked box (other than connecting to the internet).
Could not find a gconftest file on my system. I'll search Debian
packages for it.
2. Don't think I have a problem there.
3. Never have been able to log into a GNOME session since I installed
Sarge on this box. No instance of oafd running.
4. I posted the .xsession-errors messages where it failed. Is there
another log that may help?
Thanks,
Jim Seymour
