Broken Gnome

Been having a strange problem at work on the SunRay. I cannot login to a Gnome session.

The tech support folks I spoke with couldn't figure it out. They did tell me one nice thing to know about the SunRay. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace twice kills your X server, so you can get back out to the login screen to try something else. CDE is still there, if unsupported.

I ran a cleanup script we have, but wonder what it's not getting to. It deletes a few of the configuration directories under $HOME. Maybe it doesn't get everything.

At work on the SunRay I notice that when I login there always seem to be two gconfd-2 instances running at the same time. On the laptop right here there's only one. Hmm. Not even sure what to google for.
