Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
This seems to be a meta-glitch relating to an update that I applied last
night.
Logging in after booting this morning showed the custom background
image, but none of the (autohide) taskbars appeared nor did alt+f2 work.
Switching to a virtual-terminal I removed all the settings
files/directories that seemed related in any way to gnome-desktop or my
current session in an attempt to fix the problem.
Restarting X and even Gnome Failsafe session (deleting the same data
with each attempt) still did not fix the problem.
I eventually got the network connected (network-manager /really/ needs
some console-mode support!), and found updates (I was previously fully
up to date last night) and installed them.
Upon login auto-hide was still around (what did I miss? I rmed likely
things in .config .cache and .gnome*) and the gnome-panel was sluggish
and consuming 100% of one of my cores. nm-applet was also highly
unresponsive and sluggish.
Turning off auto-hide and rebooting seemed to fix the 100% cpu problem;
but maybe that was related to gnome-settings-daemon having crashed and a
reboot being required to restart it.
