Just some thoughts, which may not help, depending on how this all happened. I had a similar problem with a home directory that "belonged" to me but really didn't. ;) Be sure your login account name is the owner of all files in your home directory and that this user has read/write permissions for regular files and read/write/execute permissions for directories. If that doesn't help, you may want to consider creating another user account and use it to confirm whether a new login setup works or not. If it works, you know you have all the right software installed, and you can then focus on configuration differences. If it doesn't work, then you need to figure out which package(s) is(are) missing and install them. I'm not sure about the "best" way to figure out what might be missing. You could try listing the dependencies of the gnome meta-package(s) and then check for these packages and reinstall any that are missing. -- Bob McGowan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
