[From the Newbie Zone]: As you are all no doubt painfully aware by now, :-) I use RH9, and whatever desktop came up as a default. Is it gnome? Something else? I don't even know how to tell. But here's the point: I think I saw another posting on this -- every once in a while, it seems you can click on this, or double click on that, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. Let me narrow it: it's usually Nautilus. I ran it from the command line -- nothing. I ran it with the -check option. They all ran, but no output. I ran --help and saw something about Bonobo objects, and gave up. Other times it's Mozilla 1.4... I have to get real work done. I can't reboot several times a day. I will take any and all advice, including "use another desktop." !! Craig [You are now leaving the Newbie Zone]
