Adam, Having rarely used gnome I'm no expert. I have found problems with components crashing and not dying properly when exiting. bonobo and gnome-session both come to mind as processes I've had to kill manually.
If, after exiting gnome and shutting off gdm, you still have *any* gnome related processes go ahead and "kill -9" them if you have to. -Jeff On Wed, 2005-08-17 at 18:21 +0100, Adam Hardy wrote: > An applet crashed while I was surfing and after it died, my bottom panel > in gnome doesn't show what programs are running on my desktop. > > I exited my desktop and startx'd again, but still have no cure. > > I find the desktop and the window manager a bit of a minefield so I > don't want to start trying to repair it without knowing that I'm doing > the right thing. > > Any suggestions? > > Thanks > Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
