Re: load Order of Firefox/Thunderbird

[Dave Sampson <samper d gmail com>]

Funny, I remember .bash_profiles from my gentoo days (short lived).

But I don't seem to have something like that in fedora, nothing is 
listed in my hidden directory listing... unless it is called something 
else (that I find the RH folks do a lot).

The problem in my eye is the they load, run and STOP the rest of the 
load up process... I don't evene have a desktop, just a blank screen. 
and they don't have the border window to close with. eg maximize, 
minimize and close window icons.

Furthermore when thunderbird loads when you access the menus they appear 
BEHIND the man window... all I can do is alt-f and then quit. this may 
help better explain why I want to fix this interesting, however 
prohibitive behaviour.

As per another post I will try to delete all sessions listed and see 
what happens

If any other plans come to mind please keep me posted
