Hello!.
This is my first post on this forum,although i'm a regular at LQ.
Now for my problem....

I use Lxde on my Debian Testing box,and periodically i get the following error message at just after log-in:

Code: Select all

Unable to establish connection with FAM. Do you have FAM or Gamin installed and running?

After this error message dialogue ,i click ok and am then presented with a plain blue backdrop/wallpaper rather than my usual wallpaper.
If i then do ctrl-alt-bkspce and restart X and log back in,the desktop then appears as normal without any error messages?.
I've found other threads with this problem but with no solution.
Does anyone have any ideas as how to cure this?.

I'm using the following version of Lxde:
