Thank you, I'm very embarrased to admit that that's what did the trick. I never, ever shut my machine down nor log out of my user account. When I do leave my machine, I just password lock the xconsole and it goes into power saving mode, so I never have a need to log out. Again, thanks. > hamish > -- > Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
