Yes, this is correct. But it crashes when I log in after boot, or when the system comes back upon hibernate (in this case, it crashes the system). When I run it from the terminal, it seems to come up "fine" as I mentioned, but I do get that error message. I don't like errors in general, but what does it mean? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Ranjan
