Gnome is a G-nightmare!
I apt-get'ed the task-gnome-desktop package to try it out with Sawmill, but
using it really messed things up. For root, everything was fine but for me
(user david) it couldn't have been worse.
I changed my .xesession to have only exec gnome-session. But only
Enlightenment would display. I got no Gnome icons or menus or desktop.
Nothing. It just looked like E until I logged out, when I got the Gnome
save-session dialog box. I tried using jed, and I couldn't use the backspace
key. It was hell.
But for root I got all I exepected: Gnome desktop with the ability to
configure it.
What gives?
