    I am getting segmentation faults with Gnome.

    This is a new install of Debian woody on a new but used machine.
    I'm new to Debian.
    Initially had trouble with X and did apt-get install --reinstall
    xserver-xfree86
    It now works.
    On arriving in Gnome I get the segmentation faults.
    I have apt-get remove GDM and installed
    I do not get seg faults with KDE.
    The Gnome forum messages all stop when seg faults are mentioned so I don't
    think their forums will be helpful.

    I have tested memory with memtest. It passed 4 scans.
    Memtest also reported 4K lost due to byte alignment. Do I need to adjust the
    memory specs?
