I updated my system using up2date this morning and
afterwards, most Gnome menus, Icons and programs won't
display text. The main Gnome menu is blank, all you
see are icons and arrows, no text. Ximian Evolution
is the same, icons are visible, but text isn't. For
some strange reason Mozilla was unaffected. Also GDM
doesn't display text including my username and
password when I log in.
Below is the up2date log and a snippet from my
'sources' file. If someone knows which of these
updates might have caused my problem and can give me
short instructions on forcing rpm to load an older
version, I think my problem can be solved. My money
is on the gnome-libs update.
In the meantime if someone knows what the icon for
Tetris looks like, at least I can play while I wait.
Thanks,
