I had this problem for a while - it seems that the problem was my ~/.xsession looked something like this: # ~/.xsession -- config file for startx # Launch applications here (followed by &) # gnome-terminal & # Launch your window manager (or desktop environment) # here (no &). /usr/bin/sawfish gnome-session when it should have looked like: # ~/.xsession -- config file for startx # Launch applications here (followed by &) # gnome-terminal & # Launch your window manager (or desktop environment) # here (no &). #/usr/bin/sawfish gnome-session Gnome no longer (I think) wants you to specify the window manager from the .xsession file - it will start your first X session with the system default, and you can then specify from a variety of installed ones. Since I changed it, it runs much faster and happier than before. Good luck, Steve
