When Gnome is started by non-root user the following two error msgs occur. While gnome does at least come up, the control- center apps are unavailable as might be expected by 2nd error msg. "Could not open Help Topics File NULL" and "Unable to reach the Control-Center" Is anyone familiar with this problem? Jerry R.
