WG,
I don't know why my installation went so horribly wrong ... :-(
I followed your suggestion, and I don't see any difference. I'll try
the "new defaults" for a while to see if that fixed any of the other
myriad of problems that came up.
To get any desktop at all, I had to use
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true
* and also *
with gconf, go to /apps/nautilus/desktop and enable all of the "-visible"
settings.
I also had to rebuild the gnome-panel. It turned out that there were
invisible applets taking up the whole panel, so that the portion of the
panel you normally right-click on to add applets was inaccessible. The
fix for that was to unlock and then move the broken and invisible "go-
home" applet, so that an empty spot on the panel could be accessed.
Now I'm trying to figure out why gnome-screensaver is not running ...
and I'm having other annoying errors, like:
$ gnome-screensaver
(gnome-screensaver:3246): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not
started at session startup.
(gnome-screensaver:3246): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set.
(gnome-screensaver:3246): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry
$ gedit error.odd
(gedit:3248): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at
session startup.
(gedit:3248): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set.
(gedit:3248): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry
