Re: Fail to start Gnome environment

I had GNOME act strange after a fresh install.  I refreshed all of the
gnome rpms and that got things working.  I would copy any rpm with the
word gnome, bonobo, etc, etc, to your hard drive and force another
upgrade.

Just an idea.  No warranty expressed or implied.
