This is apparently due to the fact that this file is missing under Karmic: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc
Under Jaunty, it was present, and had the following content: # If we are running the GNOME session, source ~/.gnomerc BASESTARTUP=`basename "$STARTUP" | cut -d\ -f1` if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \ \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \ "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \ /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then GNOMERC=$HOME/.gnomerc if [ -r "$GNOMERC" ]; then . "$GNOMERC" fi fi I wonder why it was taken out? I propose that this file be included in future releases. -- .gnomerc file ignored under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
