Linux finally crashed forcing a hard reboot, anyway the end result is that my GNOME panel no longer starts. I use gnome-session and would like to know how I go about correcting this, in short what files do I edit to return to the default configuration. I tried Ctrl - Shift as specified in the GNOME user manual, and the Session manager does not load, I checked the running processes and GNOME session is among them. -- The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, preserved their neutrality.
