You should open a terminal window and do: ps -ax|grep -i art and see if the artsd daemon is running or not. If it is not, you may need to force it to start. >Then, every time I launch a program that open a new window I get: > >X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 > Major opcode: 19 > Minor opcode: 0 > Resource id: 0x600006 When you say "every time you launch a program" how exactly are you trying to launch a program? The error is complaining about passing a bad parameter, so if you are launching the program just through your window manager, you must have a bad configuration file. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
