Thanks,Michael With Unix unless you are changing X or the kernel, you can most times just start a new instance of you. :) i.e., `xterm -ls -sb` or (in gnome) start a terminal click Edit -> Current Profile click 'Title and Command' make sure "Run command as login shell"** is checked, and click close. Start a new gnome terminal. **you'll have to look back into the mists of time to see the argument about why neither gdm nor gnome-terminal made this the default. You may or may not want to undo the change later.
