Here's a way to find every file that's accessed during your login process. From that, you should be able to guess which are gnome-related. 1. Log out. Let the machine sit idle at the xdm/gdm login prompt for at least five minutes. 2. Log in. 3. Open a shell window and type find ~ /tmp /var/tmp -type f -amin 5 That will list all files accessed in the last ten minutes. If it's systemwide settings you're looking for, you could do the same thing, but start from / and use a longer timeout so find can finish. 20 minutes should be plenty. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
