Dear All,
I decided to have a play with Gnome (usually an FVWM user.) I managed to get a nice user-friendly desktop by doing
ln -s /home/username /home/username/Desktop/username
and creating a .xsession file that said
#!/usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/gnome-panel & /usr/bin/gnome-wm
But when the session's finished with, hitting the "Log out" option in the system menu only seems to close the gnome-panel, not actually to end the X session. I suspect that this is because I'm starting gnome-panel the "wrong" way. Any ideas, please?
Not directly connected with your problem but I run gnome-panel on my fvwm window manager. I just run it on an 'as needed' basis when I can't remember how to do something and I use the gnome-panel menus to find what I need.
Re: your problem, are you running X from startx? It may well be that gnome is expecting to be run from gdm but I'm not sure.
When I get home I can check to see if gnome-panel's log out works for me.
In fact I can try it here, but will have to send this first.
byeeeee.............
