Gnome splash screen won't die?

[Noah Silva [Mailing list]]

Hi,

Right now when I log in, the gnome splash screen never goes away.  I am
going to experiment with the failsae session and a few othter things to
see what I can figure out.  I remember hearing something similar to this
(that it stayed for a long time, actually) on the list eons ago, but am
not sure if this is related.

What usually triggers the box to close?

 thanks,
