init (really the configured display manager like gdm) is doing exactly what its supposed todo. Restart the X server. You have a couple of choices: 1) Change your systems runlevel to 3. By doing so, init will not start the display manager at system bootup. You will however have to manually start your X session by tying "startx" after you login. 2) Leave your runlevel at 5 and configure your display manager (should be gdm) to not start an X server at the console. For gdm -- edit the file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and comment out the display (0) line following the [servers] tag. As with option 1, you will have to manually start your X session by typing "startx" after you login. > > It seems that RH8.0 has a memory leak in Gnome, and I was > thinking that if I shut it down, it would free that up and > then I could restart it (that is until the leak is fixed in > a future version).

I have no idea if gnome is suffering from a memory leak, but I too have not had any luck with using Gnome. In fact, gnome-terminal is so slow that I feel like I'm using a 28k dialup connection when I'm connected through a 100MB LAN. FWIW: KDE does not seem to suffer from this problem. I stayed logged in for days at a time using KDE.
