I would like to know if you have the following services/daemons running. gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon mapping-daemon pam-panel-icon I'm curious to see if you have all of these running. I looked at what processes I'm running, and these are all here and might have something to do with your problem. All of these should be run as your user, in my case, achoens, NOT as root. So, you only need to look at your processes. --andy
