gnome quit starting but it still shows it's running. I had to change my .xinitrc to start enlightenment. If I try to start gnome-seeion manually it still doesn't seem to be running but the process is running. mccombs@rickdude:~$ ps aux | grep gnome mccombs 7879 0.0 0.9 5240 1184 pts/0 S 09:00 0:00 gnome-session mccombs 7880 0.0 1.4 5392 1800 pts/0 S 09:00 0:00 gnome-login-check mccombs 7946 0.0 0.3 1108 400 pts/1 S 09:08 0:00 grep gnome
