what controls the display of the fonts in the gnome-panel when it first starts up?
i'm running current unstable versions of gnome, gnome-panel, gnome-shell, up to date on graphics drivers, tried different kernels, tried creating new user, etc. all same result. the whole thing is blank other than the letter "m" (which is the first letter of the user name "me") but as time goes on the clock gets digits as they change. if i click the icon space where the accessibility icon is it will bring up a menu (with many items missing letters). if i click on the "large text" item twice (making the text bigger and then smaller again) then it corrects the problem. the top menu is then looking right, but if for some reason the gnome desktop resets (oom killer) or i sign out again or reboot then it goes back to the blank/missing letters in the font state until i redouble click the text size again. i'm, digging into gnome-panel code now to see if i can spot the problem, but no luck as of yet. in reading through bug reports on the gnome site i see some that sound similar and refer to it being a graphics driver problem, but that doesn't make sense to me that a graphics driver would not work for a font display at first, but then work after i refresh something via the accessiblity menu... but then what do i know. thus i ask here. :) thanks, songbird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
