I wrote a little C program containing that function and it appears to get the user logged into console properly. However going through the places that actually call this and then start zenity I cannot seem to find out any place where zenity is actually run as the logged in user. This in KDE this could cause a problem. The other issue of course could be gnome-settings-daemon. It is easy enough to rename zenity to zenity.bin and then put a shell script called zenity that starts gnome-settings-daemon if not already started. But I do not have a lappy presently so can't test that option. Regards, Moinak. > > Cheers, > Ananth > -- ================================ http://www.belenix.org/ http://moinakg.wordpress.com/
