This problem is really little more than a pet peeve, but it's been bothering me for a few years now and I'd love to be able to fix it. On my system, /home is a symlink to /usr/home. When I log in to gnome with gdm, my working directory for everything gets set to /usr/home/username. This is annoying because $HOME points to /home/username. therefore, programs don't recognize that they are in my home directory; bash, for example, shows /usr/home/username in my prompt instead of ~. I suppose i could recode $HOME to be /usr/home/username, but that doesn't seem right. any suggestions? /brian ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun.
