I use Gnome ['gnome-light'] as my WM. For the past few months (many months) I've had the 'gnome-panel' lock up on me. Nothing is clearly causing this. Rebuilding has not seemed to help. Of course, what to rebuild? Everything?
I've adopted the strategy of kill -INT and (next time) kill -HUP (and repeat). This gets me working again 98% of the time. This is slightly better than rebooting every time you have a problem. Slightly. So, of course I have a lot of questions. Anyone know what is going on? Anyone know how I can find out what is going on? Adding a gig and a half of ram didn't change the behaviour. Changing video cards didn't either. (And I don't want to trash my .gnome* folders in a WAG at a fix. I have customization that will disappear. Again.) Finally, I'd like to just get the PID of gnome panel in a one-liner to send to kill, if I can't get this fixed. Can anyone volunteer a "gimme only the PID" one-liner? [ And why does it always complain about not finding GDM... when was that required? I've never used it, nor wanted it. I want the warnings to go away! ] Any replies appreciated.
