Logging out and back in shouldn't have been necessary but... sometimes this stuff works a little strange... =) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.

Been there, seen that. create a file in ~/.gnome called xalf /home//.gnome/xalf (regular users) /root/.gnome/xalf (for the root user) in it place the following two lines: [settings] enabled=false Save and run with it. xalf is a piece of eye candy that doesn't seem to work with the latest updates. In specific, it provides the little task bar hour glass when applications are busy.

[expert] su in X gives xalf library error
I upgraded to all the latest mandrake updates to my 7.2 system last night, and now a script i have that does something like: su -c "/usr/bin/netscape -mail" user that i use to kick off netscape to get my mail as another user now gives me the error: su: error in loading shared libraries: libxalflaunch.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory this was working before i upgraded stuff. I looked at the version of xalf i had (0.4-2), and saw on rpmfind.net that mandrake had a version 0.4-4.1, but that didn't help I guess i could roll back whatever package su is in IF it was upgraded. any ideas? Thanks! Ken
