hi guys, i have never done any posts before, so i am really unexperienced(a
maillist virgin? ;) however, i have problem, more than one, like rest of
us...
But problem i would like you to help me with is somehow related to gentoo,
and particulary to gnome.
I am not good at searching information, but i tryed my best to find anything
related to my problem.
The problem is, i use gdm(yeah!!! usually i start it manually, i am too lazy
to add it into loading processes) and i try to load my gnome(yeaaah!!), but
i can't load it(booo!!!!), it simply hangs after i see a window which shows
progress of gnome being loading(none of icons appear, boo!!!). Steps made:
upgraded to current version(--sync is 2 days old), upraded to experemental
version, upgraded X to current version(2 days old). I have deleted Gnome
configuration files from users directory still does not load(boo!!!!),
"custom choice" is loading(it looks a lot like clean X enviroment to me),
but thats it(it did load before too). No mistakes in X output, so i am
pretty confident it`s  gnome, any ideas?
In advance thanks for any reply.
P.S. if it is of any help: clocks applet caused problems before major
problems started, not major problems, but who knows, may be it is somehow
related...

Well, welcome to the list, sorry, but I gotta say, you should post
stuff with a SUBJECT line regarding your problem, not a reply to the
automatic welcome message, I guess that's why you got no answers (at
least none to the list).

Well, Its more a shot in the dark, but have you double checked file
permissions on your home directory? KDE and Gnome use to crash on me
because of that, but then I decided to use Fluxbox. Anyway, try chmod
and chgrp to make your home folder completely YOURS.

try as root chown YOURUSER:users /home/YOURUSER -R
this should fix your permission problems
if it still don't load create a new user with a new home directory
start gnome there if it loads copy over your backups like .mozilla
.amsn  and stuff
gnome once failed to load when i installed gentoo after ubuntu and
that's what fixed it for me
