Gnome window(s) and remembering state

[SME]

Hello!

First Problem When I log in as root and startx (using gnome 1.2 under redhat 6.2) the "file manager" and "gnome-help-browser" windows insist on appearing. How can I get these processes to stop?

And related second problem When I log in as _user_ I get two (2) separate instances of "gnome-help-browser" starting. I can find no specific line in any of the startup scripts to account for two different "gnome-help" processes and can't permanently kill them.

Help.

Thanks!

When you log out make sure that the "save changes on exit" check box is clicked.

Not to make myself sound even sillier than I feel ...I thought that the "save settings on exit" was checked -- I checked it and the icon looked visually embossed IN. Whereas to have that option selected the icon needed to look visually embossed OUT.

I learn new stuff every day.

Thanks for your help.
