Err.., /nonexistent is where a lot of system accounts are: www, pop, nobody, gdm, as well as the machine accounts have been *created by the system* in that location. This wasn't something I elected to do.., > > This sort of thing is why homedirs go under /home or /usr/home. > Understood, but as I mentioned above.., this would not have been a setting that I would have chosen.., Saying that., I'm now reluctant to pursue (please don't take this wrongly!) this action given that www and pop are listed with /nonexistent as their respective *system-designated* home account names.., One the other hand.., if this is where these account home dirs are created, why would gnomemeeting be looking to the same location for build-dependent configs? Also, why wasn't this an issue *before* having to upgrade to Gnome2-2.4.2?
