[NTLUG:Discuss] Ubuntu GDM issues (or maybe X - not sure)...

[Jeff]

Whenever I have to enter the root password to use an administrative tool 
gui, Gnome locks up after the password is entered.  I have to go to a 
different tty and restart gdm to get it to work again.  The command line 
equivalent  works fine, however.  After looking around for days on this 
I still haven't been able to figure out what's going on...Anyone?  
Bueller?  Bueller?

Thanks!

Jeff
