Hi,

A user (not all users) is getting the following error on starting GNOME (2.4 on Debian unstable - not updated for a month or so):

'Application "gnome-panel" (process xxxx) has crashed due to a fatal error (segmentation fault)'

The top panel is blank except for the window menu. The bottom panel works fine. Clicking "close" on the error message causes the gnome-panel to restart, whereupon it segfaults again.

Since this is only happening to one user (who hasn't customised anything to any great degree), I tried deleting the contents of .gnome*, but the problem keeps recurring. I'm assuming that this is caused by a screwed-up config file for that user, and would have thought this would be sitting in that user's home directory; where else could GNOME be keeping it? Or what am I missing?

Matthew.
