I tried all of the above ($kill -KILL -1 $bonobo-slay and removing
/tmp files owned by my user) as well as # rm -rfv /tmp/* /tmp/.* and a
reboot and am still in the same situation. Logging into Gnome as a
different user fixs the icon issue so I assume it's a problem with a
my account. I also have full access to all the panel applications (if
that's important at all). Thanks again in advance for any suggestions
to try.
