Are you also reverting back to the default (ugly) GTK2 theme? If so, Try putting the following lines in either ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession (as appropriate): ************************************************* #!/bin/sh # sample ~/.xinitrc export GDK_USE_XFT=1 gnome-settings-daemon & ... exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker ************************************************* Then restart X and see what happens. I had this problem myself, and had other people ask on the Libranet users' list. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net "I am become root, shatterer of kernels."
