Any suggestions on how to get rid of them/ Explicit action required at least for evolution.. We have something like if [ -x "/usr/bin/evolution" ]; then report "turning off evolution backends" /usr/bin/evolution --force-shutdown fi if [ -x "/usr/bin/oaf-slay" ]; then report "turning off oafd" /usr/bin/oaf-slay fi if [ -x "/usr/bin/gconftool-2" ]; then report "telling gconfd to shut off" /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --shutdown fi in a wrapper for /usr/bin/gnome-session. From the SL_startgnome_afs-1.0-1 RPM, IIRC. Regards Jan
