Disabling Desktop effect in Gnome

nmansour · 08-04-2008, 12:24 AM

Hi,

I tried to enable Desktop Effect in my Gnome. I am running Fedora 9 on my laptop. I did System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects. Once I enables this, I had a white screen which I could not do any thing with it. I had to kill x through Alt+Ctrl+BkSpace and I am writing this now through my root account. Being newbie to Gnome, all I want is to know how to disable the desktop effects in my user account? That is which files I should edit/remove to get back my Desktop again.

Thanks,

Noha

OK,

I could solve the problem. I renamed the folder .metacity to .metacity-bak and started X. It worked fine and all is good.

I hope this may help someone else. Also, if you have any other/better idea, please tell me.
