How to find Gnome version



How do I know what version of Gnome I am using? I upgraded from Redhat 8.0
to Redhat 9.0 and help says that it is help for Gnome 2.0. But this thread
suggests that it is 2.2.

Also, would appreciate help in being directed to the appropriate mailing
list for Redhat beginners.

Thanks
Manish

Hi,

actually I sorted out the problem. Searching some newsgroups I found a
command "gnome-save-session --kill" that is used to close the gnome session.
I used that command but it freezed. Doing a gnome-save-session --kill
--disable-sound it worked perfectly so I figured that there was something
wrong with the sound configuration. I opened Soundcard detection and noticed
that the "Enable sound daemon" checkbox was off, and I selected it. Now
logout works perfectly. 

I must say i'm a bit amazed because I can't see a direct relation between
both. Still have one problem though, when i logout and try to login with
another user (even the same user) Gnome hangs when displaying the splash
screen, before any completed tasks show up (like launching the window
manager).

My video card is Nvidia GeForce2 MX400 and i'm using their latest drivers
(1.0-4363).

Thanks again,
Celso
