Thanks.

RE: Gnome xml parsing error only allows one login
No, it applies to all users. I set up a new user test, and got the beginning of the desktop loading, and that was it. After the initial splash showing stuff coming up, just a grey screen with a bar across the top and bottom. Note that KDE works fine, except for the intermittent error. -Original Message- From: Allen Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 9:01 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: RE: Gnome xml parsing error only allows one login Thanks.
