However, this guy hasn't been on this system most of the time I've tried to find this error. Based on that, it's got to be somewhere in a *system* file, not in a home directory, yet it complains: gdm-simple-greeter[2361]: GLib-GIO-WARNING: Missing callback called fullpath = /home/<username>/.face#012 Now, I found /var/lib/gdm, and have looked under .config, .gconf, and .gconfd, and not found it. I have also killed the simple greeter, and it respawned, and started griping again. So, where is it storing this, and, more important, *WHY* is it caching this? Ideally, I'd like to not only clear whatever's causing it now, but also change the relevant system configuration file so that it doesn't happen again. mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've tried, as last resorts, find /var -type f -exec grep -il <username>/.face {} \; and in addition to /var, I tried /etc and /tmp, and the *only* thing grep gave me were the logfiles that had the entries. Now, does anyone have any other suggestions? mark "there's reasons I'm not hot on gnome"> -- > David Fix > Senior Systems Administrator > Mr. X Inc. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "m roth" <m.roth at 5-cent.us> > To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos at centos.org> > Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 9:01:27 AM > Subject: Re: [CentOS] gdm-simple-greeter config? > >> Greetings, >> >> On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 8:34 AM, mark <m.roth at 5-cent.us> wrote: >>> itxakaserrano at gmail.com wrote: >>>> Enviado desde mi iPhone >>>> El 18/09/2009, a las 04:39, mark <m.roth at 5-cent.us> escribi????: >>>>> R P Herrold wrote: >>>>>> On Thu, 17 Sep 2009, mark wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> I have googled.
