Aacchh! was wrong about gaim being restored. If run as non-root, it takes a password and disappears, leaving: gaim: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_scaled_font_get_f In /usr/lib I find: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2006-10-28 10:57 libpangocairo-1.0.so ->\ libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2006-10-28 10:57 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 -> \ libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29256 2006-10-13 11:30 \ libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7 I tried reinstalling libpango1.0-0. But no change. When I run the appl' as root, it's fine (sound is back too), and there is no error message. tom arnall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
