Sometimes works for me in these situations. I have tried the rm -rf .gnome* thing. It didn't help. For completeness, I tried a brand new user. It didn't help either. > The only time I've had a similar problem (and this is with the red > carpet devel version of gnome2) is when I started up the wireless > networking on my laptop, then tried to startX.

What would it be trying to do on a network that it doesn't do if there isn't one? Any ideas? It seems like an awful pain to turn off networking, startx, and turn it back on again. > Very odd. ;) Amen to that! :-) Thanks for your help! This was totally a direction I wasn't headed.
