Well, I should have checked the obvious!!! gnome-panel didn't run after the upgraded because it wasn't on the system ??? Something broke badly during the upgrade to gnome 2, perhaps I should have been upgrading more often? I found that most of gnome wasn't installed. Could be that package dependency is broken for gnome ? thanks, ray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
