Has anybody had the problem of gnome not being able to find pixmaps when starting up? I've successfully ( I hope ) built all the stuff and installed it, but whenever I fire up gnome-session (It uses fvwm2, since I haven't installed enlightenment yet), nothing has any pictures in it. fvwm2 is also wacked out in that it won't let me move, close, or do anything with any windows. They all appear to be .png files, so maybe my libpng is hosed, but I figured I'd ask here and see what's up. Any ideas? thanks. marc.
