    Hello-

    Ive had to reload my redhat box recently and after all seemed
    well and software was loaded, I started having problems with the
    X login (inittab 5). After I type my username/password I got
    several different things.

    One was a message saying after 10 seconds, something was wrong
    (Im paraphrasing), and to try failsafe. So I wiped out my
    .gnome* directories and tried again.

    After that, the X screen came up but not its like its lost its
    graphic abilities, I get boxes with a red X and green checkmarks
    for the panel and apparently boxes that are displayed.

    Anyone know of a website/page that explains the different errors
    for the graphics and how to fix them? Im amazed at the lack of
    reliability of X at times...I know in the past Ive had small issues
    as well and couldnt figure it out and had to reload my OS.

    Im sure there is a better way.

    On a minor note, what directory or file(s) contain my desktop
    settings (launchers etc) so I can save them and not have to
    re-do them everytime?

    Thank you very much,
    Jeff
