    Hi All,

    I'm kinda a newbie to Linux, and I think messed something up. I can't
    login through the gnome desktop manager anymore. I used to be able to
    login and I can login under a different account on the system. I do
    have several error log files, but I don't really know where to start
    in fixing things.

    So here is what happens.

    The Gnome Desktop Manager login dialog comes up. I type in my name
    and hit OK. Then I type in my password and hit OK. It seems like it's
    trying to log me in at this time but then just comes back to the
    login prompt.

    In /tmp there is a file called xses-paul.QrE84n. Inside it looks like
    xrdb gives and error message of "No such file or directory" and
    "Can't open display ':0'.

    Any suggestions to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

       --Paul Ravish
