That was one of the first things I checked... And that's part of what's got me so puzzled... there are no lock files or PID files that I can find that point to X:1. I'm currently running on :2, but would really like to get back to :1. :-) It's not a show-stopper, and I can live with it, but I liken it to an off-color monitor or fuzzy monitor -- you can work with it, but it's aggravating. :-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
