Hi Felix, found your post because i have the identical problem. Maybe you found a solution meanwhile?

Re: GDM3 Duplicates Menus Clocks Workspace Switcher etc.
Hi Jörg, the error was caused because the old Gnome 3 Versions didn't have a check implemented for multiple monitors and just produced a menu for each monitor it found. It shouldn't happen anymore with the latest versions of Gnome 3 and gdm. So to fix the problem I would recommend: Update your gnome to the latest version (for debian the latest stable would be on wheezy right now), then proceed to delete all configuration related to gnome to reset your menus to default.

Felix Winterhalter, 19.01.2013: Hey there everyone, I just installed debian wheezy and I get the following problem with gdm3: Every time I login the menu items are added again (to the already existing items) and the clock is added and the logout menu is also added as is the workspace switcher and the taskbar ... So after 3 logins I now have three of every sort ... reinstalling gdm didn't even remove the menu entries neither did completely rm -R * ing the home directory I have no idea what to do anymore I am using a Dual Screen Setup which I had lots of trouble setting up using the free driver for ATI cards so I switched to the proprietary one and used the initalize function of aticonfig for two monitors. However Gnome shows still only one monitor in its system settings, maybe that could be related... I am very grateful for any idea! Thanks in Advance, Felix Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/PfWgl0f.png I don't have any help to offer but I have a problem that is somewhat similar: the little icons at the top right (wifi, sound, battery) don't get drawn correctly. Sometimes they are just not there at all --- all I see is the default black background --- and sometimes they are there but not updated. In either case, bringing the mouse over one of them will work properly, display the hint, and interacting with them works fine. (But they are not updated after the interaction.) Another weird thing is that when I get a notification, instead of an envelope icon, I get copies of my battery icon, but I can get rid of them as if they were the regular envelope icon. This is on a brand new installation of wheezy, using gnome classic on an Averatec laptop (32 bit) with the openchrome xorg driver. There's no problem on a wheezy 64 bit Sony laptop with the intel xorg driver so I have been wondering if it is an xorg driver bug, but I haven't had time to dig into this. (Two other problems that smell of the xorg driver are colors being wrong in vlc and totem but fine in mplayer, and lots of duplicate graphics appearing after hibernation sometimes --- so I may have to log out and back in.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

For your GUI file browser you have to enable show hidden files, perhaps by the a menu view, to see those files and for the terminal emulation run ls -hAl, this will give you good human readable information.

Resp. seemingly you didn't delete everything, so it shouldn't matter, but even using the asterisk it's possible to delete hidden files, regarding from where you run the remove command. -- No good deed ever goes unpunished.
