Thanks, Eric. I just executed it. I typed
......./idle_activation_enabled 0
and Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a
writable configuration source at position 0
was returned. I'll see how it goes. Half of my terminals are returning
a strange error message, too. I'll go write it down and post it.
