    Since you claim to have an *ancient* version of gnome 
running, I can 
    only suggest that you upgrade.
    
Alas, upgrades are not an option - for sun support to be 
continued, we must run sun's distribution.


    
    If, in fact, you have the *Sun* release, I can only speculate 
that Sun 
    has mislabeled gnome 2.4 as gnome 2.0.
    
Sun has documented that they are using GNOME 2.0 - though there 
have been usenet postings that some patches from GNOME 2.2 have 
made their way into the process.


    
    Dos the file Xsession exist in the gdm etc directory?  (on 
FreeBSD, this 
    resolves to /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/.  I have no idea what Sun or 
Linux use 
    for this. 
    
   /usr/./dt/bin/Xsession
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/0015.sun.env
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/0020.dtims
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/0030.dttmpdir
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/0040.xmbind
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.d/6052.starmenus
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.ow
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.ow2
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession.Sun-gnome-2.0-fcs-10
/usr/./dt/config/Xsession2.Sun-gnome-2.0-fcs-10
/usr/./dt/lib/libXsession.so
/usr/./lib/jmplay/sparc/libXsession.so
/usr/./openwin/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
/usr/./openwin/lib/xdm/Xsession
 
    
    
    
    
     All of the gdm file (gdm.conf, Init/, PreSession/, etc) live 
    there.  If Xsession exists there, then you most likely have 
some version 
    of gnome 2.4.
    
    
I don't see a gdm.conf at all - so perhaps Sun doesn't really use 
GDM.  I presumed, from reading on the net how GNOME started, that 
was what Sun was using.  I apologize for my misinformation - you 
have helped me learn a bit more about Sun's bizarre distribution.
