[ubuntu-uk] How to fix Gnome problem

[Mac]

Pete / Daniel >>> Thanks for suggestions.  I'm not sure how to get all 
the info I need in order to use <dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg>, but 
I'll have a search.

Upgrading is why I'm back to Dapper.  In the past, I upgraded 
Dapper->Edgy, which was fine.  Edgy->Feisty caused a problem, because 
Feisty didn't recognise the CD drive on my Inspiron (a reported kernel 
bug), but a kernel downgrade sorted that, and Feisty worked real good. 
Then I hopefully upgraded Feisty->Gutsy:  CD drive recognition still 
broken, and various other issues;  so had to do a reinstall.  But 
couldn't reinstall Feisty (because of the kernel bug);  Edgy not 
supported;  so back to Dapper!

If I can't suss the info for the xorg reconfig, I'll just reinstall 
Dapper from scratch, I guess.  But does anyone know what keeps telling 
me 'Your session has been saved' when I try to log out?  I guess it's 
Gnome?  So can I disable it via preferences (where?) or a .conf file 
(how?).  Perhaps if I could stop the session save, the log out might 
work properly.  :-(
