When I login using GNOME on my recently installed RH 6.2, I always get an .xsession-error file, which looks suspicious. Always the first line is: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: [: too many arguments I have tried to manually trace Xsession, but have not been able to detect any syntactical errors in it, or in files referred to in Xsession. When using GNOME the next two lines, which do not seem to be related to the first error message: SESSION_MANAGER=local/knuth:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1728,tcp/knuth:1087 subshell.c: couldn't get terminal settings: Inappropriate ioctl for device rm: cannot remove `/users/plucas/.gnome//gmc-eJ0kRS': No such file or directory Again, it is not clear to me where this message comes from, but it seems to be generated by GNOME. However, the first message worries me most.
fixed in a forthcoming X errata. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10619 ***
