Craig,

Thanks. I actually rebooted the machine after apt-get upgrade and that is when the problem occurred. I then shutdown the machine and started it up again and the problem persisted.

I looked in /var/log for a gnome log, but I don't see anything. Dmesg doesn't show any errors that I can see. Where does gnome write error messages?

Thanks again!

Mark

if one of the core libraries for gnome has changed, you might need to
log out and log back in again.
