I am certain you are correct. However I had read the README file and I think
I am doing what it says. I have modified the Slackware start-up files in
/etc/rc.d to start the Garnome versions of hal,dbus & avahi. Do I need to
modify the config files in $GARNOME/etc/dbus?  Do I need to define special
users or groups?
