Thanks for coming back to me on this.
Your suggestions seems very simple and straight forward... but, doesn't
seem to have produced any noticeable change to my new "test" gnome
environment. My commands are copied below, very very straight forward -
any ideas what else might need doing to give effect to this? It's weird,
as if nothing at all had happened.
This seems to have moved OT, perhaps there's a better forum - or off list?
Thanks again,
Morgan.
