Dear listers, Recently I made clean installation of 9.3 on X2-based PC. Then I noticed that I cannot start desktop session properly. I have tried to find out what is wrong. Some of facts are as follows: (1) when users with tcsh as default shell (tcsh users) try to login to desktop, only xterm window without top bar appears. It is invoked as `xterm -T Failsafe'. (2) users with bash as defalut shell (bash users) have got no problem; they can start their desktop session very soon. (3) If the session is switched to Gnome-Failsafe, then tcsh users can start desktop session, with limited environment. (4) This phenomena do not appear on PCs running 9.3 upgraded from either 9.1 or 9.2. I made internet search, but I could not find a clue for my problem. I appreciate if some kind soul can give me pointers. Thanks for your attention. yoriaki fujimori
