I have the "Gnome Power" and "exit 256" problem too. I tried the r...@username# chmod 777 /tmp
didn't work... and I don't know why! PS. I am one of the many users who doesn't really understand unix. So please dumb it WAY down, and type really obviosu stuff too (because it won't be obvious to me....) Thanks -- There is a problem with the configuration server.
