Hi all, Not sure what's happening here. I've got RH 6.0. When I log in as a user, Gnome starts up, displays the wallpaper, displays the toolbar, and then pauses for about 5 seconds. During the pause, the disk drive light goes on and off about four times. It starts to place icons on the desktop. It puts up two icons and then closes down and takes me back out to the log in screen. Any ideas? TIA, Brad. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
