The problem was with .gnome2/session but it seems to impact other applications like gedit (.gnome2/gedit-medadata.xml) and the pannel
so before the move I am going to change make a script to change all instances of the hard coded location for each user.
Should really be a way for gnome to set a value based on /etc/passwd or whatever at session startup and use that.
Cheers

/home/username must be hard-coded into a configuration file somewhere. You could try a grep search in the .gnome2 directory.
As a (temporary?) solution, you could create symbolic links pointing from /home/username to /home2/username

Hi
I am trying to move the location of a number of home directories for example /home/username to /home2/username
I do this and change the passwd file and i get a severe stall (about 10mins) after login - "Loading metacity window manager" takes a good few minutes.
If i move things back the way they were it all works fine.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
