The error messages I get I sent to the left a few emails back entitled
"Extreme difficulty".

In short, no app will run, all exit with "Gdk-ERROR**: an x io error
occured" or if I have the directories ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome_private, it
exits complaining that those direcories can't be created.

I have not had any success executing any gnome apps, even though they
seem to compile fine.
