Hi,

I'm running Red Hat 7.1 (publishers edition) on an aged pentium with 64MB ram, using gnome with sawfish window manager.

I recently (among other things) installed some of the other rpms from the installation CD, and played around with my screensaver settings.

Now whenever Gnome starts it complains about not having a gnome compliant window manager. If I try to start Sawfish from a command line I get an error message that IMLIB cant find a pallete.

Any ideas (short of complete re-install) of how to debug & fix this

Wild stab.. As Root from Command line run GDM and see if it works.

it looks like something either got overwritten or some new dependencies were created; where you just installing new things from the rh7.1 cd or upgrading software?

you may just want to remove the new software and see what happens, and/or remove gnome and just reinstall that
