Sorry to bother you all with a nasty user question, but it's bugging me,
and has been for days.
When I upgraded my laptop from RH6.2+helixgnome to RH7, everything worked
(modulo redhat trampling over my custom-built apache just like I thought
it would the bastards) except that all my Gnome desktop icons disappeared.
gmc (the Gnome file manager, which does desktop icons too) complains thus:
[david@pigsty david]$ gmc
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation

GnomeUI-ERROR **: file gnome-icon-item.c: line 304 (get_default_font): assertion
failed: (default_font != NULL)
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)
OK, so it's most likely to be a font problem, but I'm buggered if I can
figure it out. I even tried re-installing helixgnome again to see if
that would fix it, but no joy.
Any ideas?
And no, I'm not interested in anything about how Gnome sucks and
$othersystem is better. And that includes advocating BeOS cos I like it
and have tried it, but it don't work on this 'ere laptop.
