Hi Mike,

I'm glad to know you've had success getting GNOME going, and wish you 
luck with your linux experiences :-) However, without wanting to sound 
rude, desktop-devel-list is a high-traffic development list and we try 
to keep "user support" off the list to make it easier for developers to 
follow the development-related threads. I suggest that you direct future 
questions to gnome-list gnome org 

Thanks, and have fun!
