Just recently windowmaker started having problems when I would try and change windows.. I figured "Eh, its messed up, I'll restart it" - I go to the restart option.. restarts and all of the things on my dock and clip are gone, background gone, all my settings gone.. Im thinking 'Shit! My config files got nuked!' I take a look, they are all there.. So I think, 'Well maybe one of them is messed, and its screwing them all up' so I had a back up I made of my settings from like 5 months ago.. Tossed those config files in because I know they work.. Still nothing.. Then I remembered I copied over my GNUstep directory as root a while back.. Su root, and windowmaker comes up fine and dandy.. So I copy over my GNUstep directory again as root.. Now both 'dennis' and 'root' are using the same files.. Works for root, and not dennis... Any ideas anyone? -Dennis Ristuccia dennis@vertex.978.org My home page DennisR Cam ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Brian Ristuccia brianr@osiris.978.org bristucc@nortelnetworks.com bristucc@cs.uml.edu
