You should check the programs that are started on gnome startup. Pull all of them out and re-add them one by one. Most likely, one of them is keeping the init script from finishing and that's why you can't logout. Another way to go is to add a new user with a clean home and try with him. -- Gabriel Parrondo GNU/Linux User #404138 GnuPG Public Key ID: BED7BF43 JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
