I did it just onece and it seems to be enough, as problem is that I
cannot get GNOME to start normally. I didn't try it on another user
account, but I'll do it. Still I don't understand: is this not a per
user setting and then why would it be starting up after I've deleted all
. files?

OK, after I'm finished with OpenOffice. For now all I can see is signal
10 and nothing useful:
#0  0x08055020 in ?? ()
#1  0x0806a015 in ?? ()
..... etc

It might be, but right now I cannot add nothing, because I don't get
those nice bars to be able to click on them and add / remove.
I've renamed gnopernicus and startx but it the same.
