When I start gnome as a certain user, I get a ton of dialogs complaining that my settings are missing/corrupt, e.g., "an error occured while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-settings-daemon..." ultimately the desktop is covered with windows, when I dismiss them all what's left is broken and unusable: no tool bar or menus, 3 generic icons on a black background.
I created a new user, gnome runs fine. I deleted all files in the problem user's home directory, copied in the files from /etc/skel, and launched gnome but this made no difference except that now some of the dialogs are so wide that they extend off the desktop to either side. I don't usually use gnome, but I'd like to get the default environment back. TIA, PM -- Paul Mackinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
