Hi Ross,
Thanks for the advice. However, WINDOW_MANAGER is not being exported
into my environment.
I have had a bit more success this morning by recreating the user
account that is having the problem and slowing copying files from my
original home directory into the new directory. Doing so I discovered
that one of my environment settings was interferring with
gnome-session--LC_CTYPE=en_US. I can't remember why I set this but
running `dpkg-reconfigure locales` fixed the problem (didn't matter what
I choose as default locale).
However, when I completely replaced the new home directory with the old
one I'm getting a completely different bug--"Application
'gnome-settings-daemon' has crashed". This dialog pops up six times then
Gnome hangs again at the splash screen.
I've tried removing the .gconf* and .gnome* dirs and letting the system
rebuild them. Still doesn't work. At this point, I'm just going to copy
all my normal files to the new home directory and start over. Not a
reasonable upgrade path but I've got to get on to other things. If
anyone has suggestions for me, I'd be glad to try them to figure out why
my system upgrade from Woody to Sid failed.
In my humble opinion, the xserver-xfree86/gnome packages are not ready
for distribution until this glitch is amended.
Thanks,
William
