Hi,,, I don't know if this matters and/or related to these panel problems?!
*** ctrl-alt-f1 => ' sudo apt-get install (something called) *-gtk-* ' seems to have fixed the problem, and that it also had me do some language-packages re-installation, because it broke it somehow when re-installing the GTK.....*** PS - I'm sorry I can't give more detailed information, however, it seems to be working now. ALSO - I removed the offending xpenguin app that caused the rucause (to be buried alive, ;-)) . Later! -- Gnome-panels blinks repeatedly, then crashes... by the Penguin app https://launchpad.net/bugs/93745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
