Re: Why am I logged out?



Well, no. I'm using good old-fashioned XFree3.3.6 and Helix Gnome 1.2
(was still helix). No problem with apm or something like that, just the
screensaver stops and I'm back at the gdm login window.

any other idea?

Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you 
will hear the voice of Satan?

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
