It is me again needing the expert help of this list. I did a force restart because gnome hang for a while, before that I had the "the workspace switcher and the windowlist" applets working fine. After the reboot, every time "workspace switcher and windowlist" loads I get this message "The Application "wnck-applet" has quit unexpectedly," then they quit needing to be restarted. Please help, someone! Kirk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
