I don't know where gnome keeps its settings, but see if there is a ~/.gnome directory. There will not be any need to reinstall. I probably shouldn't have suggested that so fast, though. Doing so will return Gnome to it's default state- all your settings will be lost. You could also rename the directory, say, to ~/.gnome-backup so that you could recover individual files if need be. Looking through the archives, I found another user who accidentally removed the gnome taskbar. Yep, he nuked the settings and started over, like I did: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&w=2&r=1&s=deleted+taskbar+back&q=b Dotan http://lyricslist.com
