[Grml] gnome disaster

[my]

Dear Mika,

http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/29/ubuntu-crashes-on-start-and-returns-to-the-login-screen/

is the apparent problem....

aaargh - for the convenience of leaving stuff out on the desktop and one
click network access, I have spent two days chasing a non-existing
problem....


You patience is deeply appreciated.  

All the best,

M
