of course i did a rpmbuild --rebuild with the .src.rpm and installed the rpms... i tried with yum and the original rpms, with the src.rpms...but still it doesn't work. dos xpde need any other windowmanager than gnome to work? do i need to install this too?? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Roger Grosswiler ------------------------ mailto:roger@xxxxxxxx http://www.gwch.net mobile:+41 79 285 61 53
