Hi, Alex
Tried the failsafe Gnome-Terminal, Terminal is fine when I login as
alternate-user, but when I login as myself it continues to fail...8-(
Tried the strace procedure the Jurriaan suggested. and the diff
returned a null output. so it seems that starting gnome-terminal does
not give a traceable error.. unless I screwed up again...8-)
I hope I'm not interfering with your day... Thanks for your efforts and
guidance....
Jack
