Man pages are not only for newbies. I for example never used either of these two commands and just looked them up just to see what they're doing. gnome-session has a man-page, kdesktop does not. At least now I know what gnome-session does and how it works - even though I won't use it :) -Jan -- Jan Schaumann http://www.netmeister.org
