If I recall correctly (can't test at the moment due to hard disk failure)=20 GNOME relies on DBUS working to get everything working proper. I believe=20 that the window list is part of that. Try making sure that DBUS is in fact= =20 working. You enable it by putting dbus_enable=3D"YES" or similar (from mem= ory,=20 that hard disk thing) in /etc/rc.conf. Since that only affects at boot tim= e,=20 either reboot or find the script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ somewhere, I should= =20 think) and start it. Hope this does it for you, Eric =2D-=20 Emails appear more personalised with signatures. --nextPart3489706.gfPxrHuIjN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBD3WhLSMnO3Fce5JgRAlnUAJsEVQ9j2Q+wybOifz9Auh+LVeH32gCfZuYx C1cPc1YSLkzatxBiiDr1WLU= =h+X4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3489706.gfPxrHuIjN--
