Ouch! Delete all your settings, just to restore the one application? That would really hurt. You would probably be much better off firing up gconf-editor and looking through the Windows Registry ^W^W gconf database for the menu settings, or hunting for the GNOME panel settings under ~/.gnome and deleting only those. Assuming that is the problem the OP faces, and not rather that some bug somewhere has broken his system without his actually doing anything. Daniel I would consider turning off compositing in your window manager and see if that helps. -- ✣ Daniel Pittman ✉ dan...@rimspace.net ☎ +61 401 155 707 ♽ made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
