yes, i'm still digging into it. going to be delayed for a while now. if i figure it out i'll post a fix. >> the gnome-panel up above is missing the word >> "Activities" completely, to the right a little it has the icon for the >> terminal "T m al", the clock in the center shows "7" and the rightmost >> part says "m". >> >> to get it to display correctly i have to again >> click the accessibility icon (that is not displayed until i hover over >> it) and clicking "L rg T xt" and then again clicking "Large Text" (to >> turn it back to normal font). then all is well again. > > As you're using sid, check for any package update, if any. everything gnomish, xish, is up to date. > What VGA driver are you using?
