My old K7S5A/SIS735/Athlon/i386 debian lenny, now upgraded to squeeze
(no 3D graphics), has developed a tendency to repeat unasked commands
when in gnome, or console in gnome. No problems using the Debian
console without starting gnome.

This has installed a number of unmovable Debian icons in the gnome
panel, each icon functioning for main menu, while the gnome foot has
disappeared.

Neither dmesg nor lshw or lspci from the debian console, without
starting gnome, reveal - to my eyes - any hardware failure.

I use this old stuff for scp communication with computing clusters or UMA.

Upgrading to squeeze, gnome 26, did not help. Grateful for suggestions
how to remedy or decide to replace the desktop (actually i asked
yesterday for advice on mainboards and i received advice; now i am
trying to resuscitate the desktop to save time; otherwise i have a
couple of Raptors for a new sata mainboard)

thanks
francesco pietra
