im not using gdm or anything else for that matter, i just do startx and
it goes right into gnome, is it hard to setup and install? or will just
an emerge gdm do it? also i tried a ctrl+a and it does nothing for me,
no run box, but while typing this i decided to right click and open a
termainal window and type gnome-panel in there, which worked and brought
you my panels, thank you so much for helping me. i was lost. now lets
just cross our fingers that it stays this way when i log out and back in
again ;)
thanks again
nick
