.xsession-errors shouldn't say anything at all. That message looks like gnome is reporting the socket it is using for the CORBA calls between the components, but I don't know why it would output that. Is that all .xsession-errors says? -D ----- Forwarded message from Eileen Orbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Eileen Orbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'dman'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Problem with Gnome Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2002 19:41:22 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.3416 X-Exim-sender_address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Exim-received_protocol: esmtp I tired that but I am still having the same problem.

I can only return to the console with ctrl-alt backspace The panel has in it a launcher for the Control Center. There you can specify a window manager and a background to use. You can also create new panels with the launchers, menus, and applets you want. When you logout (via the entry in the foot menu in the panel) gnome will save your session and restore it the next time you start gnome. You should have had a better default session than that, but if you get the panel and no lockups or crashes, then you can proceed to customize it for yourself. -D -- Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
