Strange. How did you go about upgrading LTSP? I used to install it "by hand", but lately (since FC5), I've been using the 'ltsp-utils.noarch' package available in extras. Have you tried a creating a new user? Your symtoms remind me of troubles I had trying to get NFS /home directories going. Check /var/log/messages for NFS errors. If you have another WM installed, I'd try selecting that instead of Gnome - just to compare. I guess you've run 'ltspcfg' a few times by now :) Is there anything out of the ordinary listed on the 'status report'? Chris
