I've noticed if you logout, and log back in using failsafe gnome session it works. Funky stuff. pd <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 9:18 PM, Paul Johnson <<a href="mailto:pauljohn32@gmail.com">pauljohn32@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 9:01 AM, pat decampos <<a href="mailto:decampos@gmail.com">decampos@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Currently running 8.04 and I just rebooted.

I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 on 3 machines, 2 for me, 1 for friend. On 1 of them, the icons do not appear on the desktop at log in time. However, if you insert a cd or access a drive, then the icons do appear for the devices that have been accessed. As far as I can tell, the users have nothing to do with it. pj -- Paul E.
