well i guess that was something i dint try after installing the new X.
but i tried it now, and i get the same behavior. note that i got twm to
work. so i think its a gnome specific problem, but not having anything
to do with userlevel or /etc/ config files. just a hunch. i am
providing links to some files someone may find useful.
thanks
