I don't have an .xsession file, or mabye I dleted it in trying to clense the problem. I deleted all the X related hidden stuff. .gnome* and such. I tried to get it to revert to defaults to see if that would help, but it doesn't. Seems like gnome doesn't understand i want to exit!! Well, I thought the problem was sound (trying to play a sound on exit and getting stuck) ..but i got sound working and thats not the case. I've removed and reinstalled gnome too.Hmm ..to be continued. Anyone else see this problem?

You might not have panel listed as booting up. < Also, another problem i'm having with X: When I Log out, the window manager closes, (the borders and such disapear) but the system doesn't return to gdm.

There's not really anything you can't do in X that you can in console. Hope this helps. Colin Winters
