Re: Clear all old Gnome data? (started but crashed)

[Rob Hudson <rob euglug net>]

Thanks for all the replies.  I cleared out as much stuff as I could (not
worried about personal settings and things).  When I started X, I bombed
with the report below.

It started showing the splash graphic and threw up a box or two with illegible
characters.  Then it went back to console.

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-session' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 500 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
