Hi, the simplest thing to do is to create another user, and then try to logon as that user. If X shows OK, then you can try to clear Gnome related directories in your home dir or copying ones from the newly created user. The directories are such as: tmp, gconf, gnome, etc. Don't forget to chown them to yours. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 10:07:18 up 1:46, 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
