The probelm was the following: During the upgrade of the packages somwthing might went wrong, and this generated an error in the ~/.gnome/session config file. There were five instances of the following-like sequence (so as many as panels started): 5,id=default7 5,RestartStyleHint=2 5,Priority=40 5,Program=panel 5,CurrentDirectory=/home/david 5,CloneCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/default-NspR62/ 5,RestartCommand=panel --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/default-NspR62/ --sm-client-id default7 After deleting four instances and deleting --sm-config-prefix /panel.d/default-NspR62/ from the rows above, only two instances of panel started. So I had to log in as another user, delete the unnecessary instances and after that remove the string "--sm-config-prefix /.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/" from the following lines. This probably caused not loading the cached session after restarting (or logging out of) the gnome session. 5,id=default0 5,RestartStyleHint=2 5,Priority=0 5,Program=gnome-smproxy 5,DiscardCommand=rm /root/.gnome//.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB 5,CloneCommand=gnome-smproxy --sm-config-prefix /.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/ 5,RestartCommand=gnome-smproxy --sm-config-prefix /.gnome-smproxy-DhZZrB/ --sm-client-id default0 David --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
