Well, does this problem happens if user uses sudo mode for gksu. Application-> System Tools-> Configuration Editor: /apps/gksu/sudo-mode Also question is what happens if you enter followings in terminal. $ su -c gnome-terminal $ sudo gnome-terminal $ sudo -H gnome-terminal (I think we do not need gconf settings for root. If one of above works, gnome just need to change default mode for gksu.) Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
