It might be a better idea to find out how can your configuration get corrupted, for a long term solution. > For a repair beyond just fiddling with gconf, is there any source of > information on what the various gnome files do?

Since GNOME is a fairly simple and easy-to-use desktop environment; it might be a way lot easier to just remove ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf to start building a new one from scratch. Anyway, the two folders are probably the places you're looking for, where the configuration of most GNOME apps reside; actually it's just ~/.gconf. By the way, I just took yet another look at ~/.gnome2 and noticed that it's almost not in use at all. -- Enver ALTIN (a.k.a. skyblue) - Software developer, generic solvent http://enver.casdb.com - mailto: ealtin at casdb dot com http://enver.casdb.com/CV.html - Just me, myself and I.
