Do you boot into a graphical login, or do you login at a text prompt and have to type
startx to get into the GUI?
If it is the latter (text login), then you should edit a file in your home directory called
.xinitrc (yes, the dot is important). This is a script that is run (sort-of) when you type startx and instructs your computer to run your applications, including your Window Manager or Desktop Environment. An example would be like this:
Code:
# xinitrc file
# runs when I load X
exec gaim&
exec startgnome
Note the & symbol after
gaim, and more equally as important, notice that there isn't an & symbol after
startgnome.
Hope this helps.
