Mart, I trust you. No gnome sessions as root. Promise. :-P

Can anyone shed some light on these Xsession-errors? I am not finding
much through google:

$ cat .xsession-errors
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "ian"
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
SESSION_MANAGER=local/hogbender:/tmp/.ICE-unix/7484
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1
diskcheck.real: no process killed
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1

Thanks,

Ian.

| If I'm not mistaken, there should be a file called .xsession-errors in

| And that's a good thing(tm). *Don't* log in to a full X session as
