Yeah, I noticed that too. (Well, I think so. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "thin client", but I've noticed that I get this behavior when I log in remotely in full-screen mode -- "X :1 -query ....") >> That's not really a solution - just a possible clue.

I wonder whether that would have other consequences, though, that wouldn't be so good. As I said in a reply to the other response so far, this is kind of frustrating for me, because it seems to be very difficult to find out where GNOME keeps this configuration information. Many things seem to be accessible via gconftool-2, but not this, as far as I can tell. (And a command-line tool, or at least some knowledge of what files are being changed, is highly desirable, since this change needs to be made on 20+ machines.) -- -- blm
