Hi Darren, FC2 (upgrade from RH 8.0) I'm not the only guy suffering this problem. One folk had the same problem after upgrade and another on a clean installation. > > Gnome desktop behaves strangely.

The Gnome desktop including icons look identical to KDE with K-Start(Redhat) on bottom menu-bar. Gnome-Start(the big-foot) disppears including gnome-applications, such as gedit, nautilus, etc. They have to be started on terminal. I tried to add them to the panel/menu but could not find them on 'add-to-Panel'. I have been playing around for a week without a solution. > > # rpm -qa | grep gnome > > shows all gnome packages installed > > > > I have following Gnome packages downloaded and did > a > > FORCE upgrade; > > Well that was just a really stupid thing to do.

But he could not guarantee I can make it. I just take my last retort. B.R. Stephen _______________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
