You probably would have gotten the same result with just restarting X.

I'm not absolutely certain, but I understood that firefox is not a gnome app, just built with gtk+ (like a qt app that isn't full blown KDE). You don't need to load gnome to run firefox (or gtk+ based openoffice). You will need gnome to run evolution, though. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philadelphia, PA 19144 www.rhd.org
