Problem resolved, but warning still applies. (And those were rm -r commands, not rm -f). In order to reset the Gnome top menu bar, I reinstalled the X11User.pkg from the Leopard install disk followed by a reinstall of X11-2.3.1.pkg. After the step outlined in the quote, the Gnome menu bar could be seen behind the X11 menu bar. It was mostly hidden and jumping as if in a loop. The Gnome things were frozen, but I could quit X11. After the two reinstalls, all appears well. (I did rm -r practically anything in my home file which might be connected to Gnome.) I'm posting this for the archive.
