Hi Joe. Many thanks for the kind reply and for your efforts. I have gnome_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf which is unchanged (this ought to also run dbus_enable="YES" as it did previously?), and did rebuild gnome-session. However, I just rebuilt gnome-session once more along with dbus and hal and it is now working. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. -- Jeff On Mon, 2009-01-12 at 13:07 -0500, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: > On Mon, 2009-01-12 at 11:45 -0500, Jeffrey S.
