my problem is that when i try to log in as the user i created, it only seems to load partially(for example sometimes where the date display and the volume icon ,etc dont show up), and when i try to execute an application i get this error msg, failed to fork child process(resource temporarily unavailable). However , when i log in as root, it loads everything. I already tried removing the user and adding it again with different privileges, but i get the same thing. :?

yeah, already did, and i had the same problems upon logging in. the only account i can login as, is root, with no problems at all. Also, sometimes when i log in with another user, i only see the desktop background and my icons and thats it, the top and bot interface doesnt load. Is this an xorg problem?

How do you start gnome? Startx, gdm

If startx have a look here (look at "First impressions") http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml

i start gnome with gdm, and i have followed the gentoo handbook as best as possible, with no problems until i try to login as another user instead of root. Right now when i login as my normal user, i only see the desktop icons, and the background, both the top and bot bars(applications,places,system, date, active desktops etc) don't show themselves.
