See my other message about preferences. The problem occurred because not enough of the gdm1 processes were killed when I logged out in the transition between gdm1 and gdm2. In particular, gconfd-1 was still running and preventing gconfd-2 from running. It appears that the only reliable way to actually transition between gdm1 and gdm2 is to reboot. /Joe On Tue, 2002-07-09 at 22:05, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: > On Sun, 2002-07-07 at 21:33, Joe Kelsey wrote: > > Every time I start Gnome2, I get a lot of error boxes about not being > > able to set or get preferences.
