Thus far you have not supplied much in the way of facts, so a proper answer is not possible. What is your PATH when e17 is running? How do you start e17 (*dm, entrance, startx)? If you use a dm, do you select an entry for enlightenment, or default or failsafe? There will be a script that starts e17 - maybe a .desktop or an Xsession file - what's in it? If you use startx, what's in your .xinitrc? I'm thinking the most logical cause is something along the lines of you have a sane shell startup environment (because ssh works fine), and your .desktop got replaced with a b0rked one with statements like these in it: unset PATH PATH=$PATH -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
