That is, would my reinstalling Gnome fix my ~/.gnome/whatever and ~/.xinitrc woes? What I really need is a document explaining how to set and unset options for Gnome but from without. How can I set a windows manager for Gnome using the command line or by editing some files before running startx? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
