However, if you are using a terminal to launch an application and using "bash -l" for that terminal application then anything you start will show the new group. If you are instead just launching from the applications menu in your desktop (kde, gnome, blackbox) then you have to log out of X then log back in. -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
