> Now ... this seems a really silly question ... but I will ask it anyway. > > You do fully have Gnome installed on the server in question, right? well, at this point, I'm ready for questions that might seem really silly! bring 'em on :-) I'm new to gnome, but I assume its all there because: I did a clean install of CentOS 5, and have done "yum update" several times since. I use gnome at the console, no issues. a crisp looking gnome desktop pops up when I use vnc to connect from the same mac client to the same centos 5 server. (in my ~/.vnc/xstartup file, the final call is "gnome-session &") so, while I certainly don't know my way around gnome, I would think that the big chunks are all there at least. I have ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private ls /usr/bin/gnome* | wc returns 68 things (see below). not sure where else to look for gnome stuff -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37796 Feb 18 13:33
