hi faisal, once in a while I have the same problem, too. the problem is very probably that you either have
a) no nautilus running or b) more than one nautilus running (yes, have seen that as well). in standard gnome installations, nautilus is responsible for dealing with the desktop (background-image, links/shortcuts, icon placement, ...) to check for a running nautilus try in a shell ----CUT---- % ps auxw | grep nautilus ----CUT---- if you dont find one running, start it manually by clicking on the snail-shell on your panel or enter the following in a shell: ----CUT---- % nautilus ----CUT---- after you have started nautilus, you should be able to use your right mouse-button again. If that solved your problem, dont forget to make the changes permanent by enabling "use nautilus to draw desktop" in edit/preferences/desktop of any nautilus window (click on "home", and you will get one). salam udo Am Sam, 2002-06-15 um 12.25 schrieb faisal gillani: > all of a sudden i cant right click on the desktop & i > cant set desktop environment for a new user ... > when i right click on desktop nothing happens .. > i am using gnome environment ... > > ===== > *��., ��,.��*���*� Allah-hu-Akber*��., ��,.��*��*� > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup > http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com > > ---- > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
