I'm not trying to impugn your abilities, its just that I often forget to check to make sure gdm actually does die, and most of the time init doesn't properly kill gdm. Every other problem I have experienced with gnome2 has been traceable to font issues. Try doing an ldd on gnome-session and see if you have any funny issues with respect to shared libraries. I found an old version of freetype2 that somehow got linked before the new version and so there were two conflicting versions of freetype2 linked into gnome-session causing it to core dump. In dealing with all of the gnome2 issues, I have found that the only way to make sure is to carefully look at all libraries and executables to make sure nothing is going on with shared library issues, such as the pango libc thing or my freetype thing with gnome-session. Of course, all of these shared library issues would evaporate if ld-elf was not so literal about libraries... /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
