thanks for welcoming me :-)
ok, I´ll try to be more specific
let suppose I start the X server and enter the Gnome Desktop Env.
I start the gnome-terminal and do: su -
now, as the root i type: drakxservices in the gnome-terminal ..this will launch a GUI
if, however, I launch drakxservices before i start the X server and login to the Gnome D.E. a ncurses(or whatever) based interface will be shown .. i want to be able to do that in gnome too.
