Re: Gnome Hint: disable

[Loban Rahman <loban enigma caltech edu>]

Well I am officially stumped. I have the same versions you do, but my
control center setup is quite different.

Alrighty, alternate ways :

1. Choose Settings -> Session -> Startup Hint from the main menu.
2. Change the settings to your preference.
 
	OR

1. Open up the ~/.gnome/Gnome file in a text editor.
2. Find the section that looks like this (it's near the top):
	[Login]
	RunHints=true
	HintsAreFortune=false
	HintsAreMotd=false
	MotdFile=
2. Change the settings to your preference.

Personally, I like keeping the gnome hints and enabling the HintsAreFortune
option. That way I can read fortunes why I wait for my session to fully
start up.
