This is for both Holly and Neil.  I login to my GUI as dale, not root.  I just 
use the konsole with root access for doing a emerge or copying files over or 
something.  I also use it to ssh into other boxes, restart my network etc etc 
etc.  As far as where my GUI is concerned, it won't let me login as root.  I 
am logged into my GUI as dale though.  I also tried dale2 and a very new user 
named test.  Mozilla will not start with them either.  I will try them again 
after this email though, making sure there is no running mozilla this time.

I also use that konsole as root because it will allow root to kill a process 
that little old dale can't.  Some of those Mozilla processes that were 
running were running as root, not sure why.  It never did that before.

I did also open a regular console, as dale not root, and when I type in 
Mozilla, it gives me this:

dale@smoker ~ $ mozilla
No running windows found

** (mozilla-bin:20715): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-dale2 is not the c                                       
urrent user

Since I use dale for the most part, I trashed the orbit-dale2 file and it 
still won't start.  It just comes back to a prompt and that is it.

Any more ideas?  Sorry on the confusion.  I confuse myself sometimes too.  LOL  
Like right about now.

Thanks

Dale
