Previously a font config panel would open up in the center of the screen allowing me to adjust font size and/or select another font.Try running gnome-font-properties in a GNOME terminal and see whether you get some error messages you can relate to us.The same occurs for 'Applications->Desktop Preferences->Themes' and 'Applications->Desktop Preferences-> Sound'. The last is not so important since the ALSA sound modules in 2.6.5 kicked in.That would be gnome-theme-manager and gnome-sound-properties.I recently did a number of 'apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing" [...]Were any packages inadvertently removed by the "apt-get dist-upgrade"?Not that I am aware of.Was there a reason you were performing the dist-upgrade?I had upgraded to kernel 2.6.5 but on second dist-upgrade I could not get past a 'Kernel Panic'. I got past this via mkinitrd and tried to fix any problems via 'apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing'.You should not run dist-upgrade in general, that can lead to bad effects. Run apt-get upgrade all the time and if packages are being kept back, run apt-get dist-upgrade afterwards and have a close look at what APT wants to do. What Debian distribution are you running anyway? testing? Michael
