I'm running RedHat 8.0, and while using IceWM window manager, hit Alt-F4. It should have been to move a window, but instead X crashed. I couldn't restart X, and so got rid of my ~/.Xclient files to get back to my default gnome window manager.
While this allowed me to start X, when the desktop loads, logged on as either user or root, when it gets part way through loading gnome-panel, the gnome-panel crashes. A dialog comes up telling me to look at the log (nothing of interest there), and when I dismiss the dialog, the gnome-panel starts to reload, and crashes again, and I'm in a loop. I'm forced to work from the console. If I had stepped on my gnome configuration, I should think it would affect use or root, but not both. I could run IceWM and use its panel, but I don't know how to configure gnome not to run gnome-panel. I've no .xinitrc in HOME, but in /etc/X11/xinit, but nothing in it or in xinitrc about gnome applications.
