Hi All
I have a problem with gnome-panel, I get an error message box displayed
that says "I've detected a panel already running, and will now exit".
If I click "OK" in this box it goes away, but immediatly reappears.
I have tried restarting X and even rebooting the machine, but each time
this box comes back. I have the panel running ok, but get this box in
addition. In my attempts to clear this problem I have now ended up with
3 of these error message boxes all of which I can't get rid of!!
HELPPPP!!!

I would switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), login as root, and type in
ps -ax | grep gnome-panel
and see how many copies of gnome-panel are running (do this before
logging in to X). If there is more than one copy running, somebody may
have been monkeying around with the startup files in /etc (/etc/rc.*) or
possibly in /etc/inittab.
