Unfortunately, that may have worked earlier. I now can no longer log
into Gnome. It crashes and here is the output of .xsession-errors:
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "jim"
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1
Window manager warning: 0 stored in GConf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_size is not a reasonable cursor_size; must be in the range 1..128
The application 'gnome-session' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
I can log into KDE just fine. Gnome now just crashes and goes back to
the login screen. Not sure where I need to go from here. I have tried
safe mode with the same results. Ideas???
Thanks,
