I am in Gnome but there is no menu selections as you stated.  System....Personal Settings does not exist.

Robert,



I would love to try that.  How do I turn off the splash screen?



Keith


If you want to turn off the splash screen then as an ordinary user, log
in, start GNOME, and go to System -> Personal Settings -> System ->
Sessions and deselect the option "Show splash screen on login".

 me

_how_ it works, but it works. :-)
