Thanks for the reply. I will try it. My laptop is a Compaq Presario with
ATI card. This is giving me a big headache. X does not play nice on this
machine. Sometimes when I log out, the machine locks up :-( Googling
around shows, that I am not alone with this problem. The problem is the
behaviour is seen even with fglrx/ati/radeon drivers.

I too am using gnome/gdm. But, the lock ups are more frequent with gdm
rather than kdm. 

Regards,

How comes it to pass, then, that we appear such cowards in reasoning,
and are so afraid to stand the test of ridicule?
