The problem you describe sounds like the panel. I've been using the gnome-session for better than a month and this has never occured. However, the panel has forgotten it's settings. It seems, everytime I upgrade gnome stuff, some gnome-apps forget their former settings. I don't know why. The only problem I've noticed with gnome-session is that sometimes it will open applications you closed just before logging out. Seems it doesn't necessarily do a final check, but rather does them at timed intervals. But, I've made it a point to always use the panel to log out since I discovered this problem, and everything seems to be okay. One thing that certainly doesn't work is to have gnome-session manage a kde desktop. Boy, talk about the mess that creates! -- Eric G. Miller Powered by the POTATO (http://www.debian.org)!
