I tried your solution, I did find some old files and deleted as you said, but
darn it that didn't fix the problem. This problem is unique to root and no
other user (I only have 1) KDE as root works fine. So I assume it is
something with gnome root. Any other ideas? This has happened before and I
reloaded RH 6 completely, this is not disaster, just inconvenient as I am new
to Linux and still very much in the learning stage. But for learning and
practical reasons I would like to solve it.
