[SunHELP] installing ximian gnome

[Robert Banniza]

I had this happen to me when Ximian Gnome was first released for Solaris
back in the day about two years ago. The problem I had was exactly like
yours. The solution was to go in and check the permissions of all the
.gnome* directories/files in your home directory. Better yet, blow them
away and let Gnome recreate them. What heppens is that you run the
installer as root which creates root perms on the .gnome* files in your
home directory. Therefore, you can't access them b/c of the root perms.
Hope this helps....If not, check your X session and startup logs to see
what is going on.

Went through the install for Ximian Gnome 2.0 and
everything appeared to go well. When I select Gnome
session and try to log in, it starts to log in, but
then kicks me back to the login screen. Any clue how
to fix it, or how I can figure out what's doing before
it kicks me back to the log in?
