maybe ot, gnome startup problems

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

I used to have that problem when my router was playing up and I had no
network connection.  I'm affraid I focused upon getting the router
sorted out and never looked at where the xserver was linked to network
connectivity.

four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.
