Post #186,283 by drewk 12/7/04 2:05:19 PM Reply	Already way beyond that I decided to fix a nagging issue. I had a package 'libbonobo-activation' that wouldn't upgrade without removing gnome and everything else associated with it. It was a virtual package. So I decided to remove it. It wanted to remove gnome and everything else associated with it. I figured, "Okay, it's always been wrong. I'll let it remove everything, reinstall gnome, and I'll be good." Nope. Now gdm starts, but I never get any windows. Window manager doesn't seem to start. Hmm ... === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Time to see what gdm is trying to start ... === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
