Folks,
I just discovered this bug report at bugs.debian.org. Sunday night
I did an apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade on my Sid box. Gnome
is now utterly and completely broken. It starts up, and the gnome-panel
application begins to crash and restart repeatedly, popping up the "App
has quit unexpectedly" window every time. Clicking the button to notify
the developers brings up bug-buddy, which then begins crashing and
restarting as well. Eventually a ctrl-alt-backspace is required to kill X and
restart it. I was hoping this was a temporary problem and would be fixed
right away, but it's 2 days later, I did another apt-get update, upgrade,
and dist-upgrade, got a new gnome-core, and it's still broken. It is not
related to the previous configuration files. I created an entirely new test
user account with an empty home directory, logged in, and got the same
problem with that account.
Sent from my gmail account because I can't get into Evolution now...
regards,
Jim Wiggs
