Thanks Ben,
I must not have explained myself correctly. root is the ONLY GNome that
works properly. Ot is the other users that do not - including new user
accounts. [not the othr way around] I obviously did write a config to
root but I can't see anything all that different to my other accounts.
This happened when I first brought the system up to date after
installing FC2 Final so it has something to do with system files.
I have spefici setups for users (eg email etc) so simply copying the
.gconf* directories is unlikely to work.
I would like to know which system config files affect how GNome is
displayed and interacts with Xorg/XFree86. Also what FC mods were done
with the X server ???
