Yeah, I always alias ll="ls -laF", so they're never hidden from me. <g> 

Anyway, the situation is that users logging onto this system, as most of 
our systems, get their home directory automounted. However, this guy 
hasn't been on this system most of the time I've tried to find this error. 

Based on that, it's got to be somewhere in a *system* file, not in a home 
directory, yet it complains: 
gdm-simple-greeter[2361]: GLib-GIO-WARNING: Missing callback called 
fullpath = /home/<username>/.face#012 

Now, I found /var/lib/gdm, and have looked under .config, .gconf, and 
.gconfd, and not found it. I have also killed the simple greeter, and it 
respawned, and started griping again. 

So, where is it storing this, and, more important, *WHY* is it caching 
this? Ideally, I'd like to not only clear whatever's causing it now, but 
also change the relevant system configuration file so that it doesn't 
happen again.
