My desktop is ok. > Can't figure out what to turn on or off? or how? Ver-ry inter-ress-ttingg -- with me it always shows up on my own user's desktop. (If I install any other users at all, I normally set their login shell to /sbin/nologin; if any should actually want to use a machine, I'd become root and change that temporarily.) It has never yet affected root's desktop. Nor has it affected, for instance, the one for my wife, when I enable her login. What's more, I've thought of an experiment. On the currently problematic machine, I've created a user named Beartooth-Ersatz : a substitute with my initials as userid. I'm in process, as root, of copying all my regular files to that user, and chown -ing them to him. Any suggestions of things to not chown, or to remove, before trying a logout/login or a reboot? Very odd minor detail, btw : the substitute has a problem I've seen on my wife's machine, but never any of my own (and never found a GUI remedy for). There is no shutdown launcher. Not even one I can't add to a panel, or can't use if I do, as with the switcher -- none. I'll have to shutdown or reboot as that user from the command line. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
