Got GNOME to start by changing /etc/hosts file

[James Ramsey <jjramsey_6x9eq42 yahoo com>]

I wasn't able to get GNOME to load. Instead it had died with the
following error message:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/jjlinux.jwramsey:/tmp/.ICE-unix/4092,tcp/jjlinux
   .jwramsey:10785

   Priority 00: Starting Id = default0
   Priority 00: Cloning Id = default0
   Priority 00: Registering Id = (null)

I saw an error message like this in the thread "problems getting it to
load".

Tim Lewis wrote in that thread:

127.0.0.1 localhost <my_machine_name>

Mine looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost tlewis

That should fix it ...

Well, it fixed it. The first line of my /etc/hosts file says

127.0.0.1 localhost jjlinux.jwramsey

Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
