and i find that with my wife's account, f-spot runs by clicking its icon (???).

any advice? how to launch f-spot with my account?

another information : i have ubuntu but i have installed and use xfce. f-spot doesn't launch neither in gnome nor in xfce.

solved it by deleted the ~/.config/f-spot directory.

thanks, i came across this post the first time i went looking for the answer..
however, i don't really understand what it is exactly that i have to do and how i have to go about doing it...
a newbie-friendlier explanation would be very much appreciated!
