I've encountered a very strange crash since upgrading my linux box to FC5. If I connect from my WinXP box using the following command line:
xwin -once -query 192.168.0.7
and login as root, then XWin crashes as Gnome starts up (just before displaying the actual desktop)
but if I login as any other user, it works fine!
Text dumped to bash console on crash is:
winLoadCursor - Windows requires 32x32 cursor
but X requires 39x26
winProcQueryTree - Clipboard is not enabled, returning.
winLoadCursor - Windows requires 32x32 cursor
but X requires 39x26

Hangup
Anyone else seen this? I have never seen this on any RedHat or Fedora version prior to this.

p.s. yeah, I know it's very naughty to have XDMCP for root enabled.
