[newbie] Gnome panels
Hi, I'm using 10.1 CE. After having used KDE for a while I decided that I would give Gnome a try. All was going well until this morning when I launched gnome - I had no panels. I tried deleting all gnome config directories in my home directory, still no panels. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brandon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I too liked the idea of gnome but there were so many things wrong that I finally settled on KDE. -- Regards; Hoyt Registered Linux User #363264 http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks, Brandon I'll assume you're in the GUI login - I've experimented with it and Gnome almost always chokes after a few logins; although from runlevel 3 using Xtart it works like a charm. -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales --- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free and no viruses --- Data is a lot like humans: It is born.

Install Xtart and don't muck around with your .xinitrc unless you truly know what you're doing - at least it allows you to run any number of installed window manglers and desktop environments - and is really nice and easy to install (urpmi Xtart) -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales --- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free and no viruses --- Keep in mind always the four constant Laws of Frisbee: (1) The most powerful force in the world is that of a disc straining to land under a car, just out of reach (this force is technically termed car suck). (2) Never precede any maneuver by a comment more predictive than Watch this! (3) The probability of a Frisbee hitting something is directly proportional to the cost of hitting it. For instance, a Frisbee will always head directly towards a policeman or a little old lady rather than the beat up Chevy. (4) Your best throw happens when no one is watching; when the cute girl you've been trying to impress is watching, the Frisbee will invariably bounce out of your hand or hit you in the head and knock you silly.
