Gnome Problems

Dear All,

This is probably not the place for this but the gnome people have not
answered.
Last weekend I upgraded to 4.8 stable, since then every time I or the
family log out of Gnome we just end up with a black screen as if the
system has lost contact with the terminal, leaving the system in a
useless state.  This then results in the system having to be powered
off, though this is sometimes locked and I need to pull the power cord
out the back. I am running Gnome 1.4.  All was working fine prior to the
upgrade.

Has anyone else experienced this and resolved the problem?

I then thought maybe I should upgrade Gnome to Gnome 2.  I followed the
instructions on the Gnome site with regards to upgrading from 1.4 to 2. 
Though when I run make install form the Gnome2 directory in /usr/ports
this works fine until it tries to install Nautilus2 and fails with a
libxml conflict though running portupgrade I get an = sign for both
libxml and libxml2, so I assume I have the latest versions.

If anybody is able to help or require more information I can supply them
with a list of packages installed on my system and the
nautilus2-config.log that was created. 

Thanks in advance,

Regards,


	Dave.
