There are still a few processes that I believe are run by root, until the machine is fully booted up. That's when your settings take over. I could be wrong, but I did change the ColorSync profile on my Pismo under root. Then, whenever I reboot my laptop, the correct ColorSync profile is set and I have no longer a change when I log in. Of course, I might be wrong with auto-login, but still, there are still a few things that run under root at startup. The other way to recover from this would be to do a reset. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under it's own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art" -Bill Gates '83 -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
