Hi,

Occasionally, I get problems starting up my Slackware 10.0 (2.4.X as well as 2.6.8.1, resp. with gnome 2.6 and 2.8). It always comes down to the fact that my home-directory suddenly seems to be owned by the root user. It has been some time, but today I got it again.

What did I use yesterday? Firefox, Thunderbird, nautilus, cvs, zip, tar, emacs, vi, gimp, vmware and lyx. The strange thing is that I haven't had any problems then writing stuff to my home-directory. I've halted yesterday by su-ing in a console and typing halt, without logging out of my X-session.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? Which application has caused this?

Not sure what is causing the problem, but an easy fix would we

Hi,

That's right, but that was not the real problem. I was just wondering which application (halt, rsync, ... ) causes this behavior and how to stop him from doing this.
