Do any of those work? Which ones were there? :) None of them (failsafe-gnome and failsafe-xterm) do. Neither do other sessions like kde2 or fluxbox. One thing that _does_ work is running multiple sessions with kdm. Wonder what's up with that... --j signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I found a line in /var/log/gdm/:0.log that looks like it could be more relevant than complaints about missing fonts: AUDIT: Sat Jun 22 10:54:30 2002: 2266 X: client 4 rejected from local host I've never seen this line before and don't know what it means.
