This only happens when exiting GNOME back to gdm an reentering it from there. After a reboot it works fine. Also starting it via an XTERM does not help, neither displays error messages that help (only error that trackerd is already running and cannot replace) I am running RELENG_7 with a custom kernel, ports are up to date. I recall this being a very old problem, I have experienced it about 3-4 years ago on Debian, too. Being unable to "tweak" my DM as I want, I switched to KDE. Now I am giving the GNOME a shot again, but still this annoying behavior. Any hints would be appreciated. Please let me know when you need any kind of log or similar. Please keep me on cc, since I am not subscribed to the list. Regards, Tino
