Can anybody clue me in how to set things right? /home is now where /usr/home was before. I have a dummy acccolunt that when I typr (as root) kdm, KDE starts up. But trying gdm (or automating this in /etc/rc.conf) gets me nowhere. I deleted ~/.gnome2 thinking that itwould be rebuilt on my next login. Nope. --i Also messed with the login screen andnow I see a large daisy on the lower right. There is a dialog about my missing some files in /var/tmp. Any/all insights welcome here! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
