A couple of ideas: 1) what does /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager point to? 2) since /etc/X11/Xsession looks first [1] for $HOME/.xsession , what does that file contain for your users? I don't use Gnome but 2 years ago when I did I had something to effect of: cat $HOME/xsession # startup gnome panel when Xstarts gnome-panel & #start Gnome gnome-wm & I really don't know the actualy executables - probably you do. You might also have to do something about gpm in there. HTH, Shawn Lamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 - look for the line STARTUP=$HOME/.xsession in /etc/X11/Xsession -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
