Jim,
First of all i thank you for answering !

Before i made the update, everything was working well. From the beginning i have have disable SElinux and firewall, cause i am behind a other firewall (IPCOP). It is exactly after i made this update that the both gnome panels (top and buttom) crashed at logon. (i wanted to update cups, and it added many deps ; you can see my yum.log there : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=566805&postcount=1)

And i didnt install any other things.

I gonna try what you tell me
thx a bunch

Larry

What was your system like before you did the upgrade? Did the panel work normally?
Did you install any software for video drivers or other programs recently?


Things that you can try.

Create a new user and log in as the other user without problems.

Something in the .gnome .gnome2 or .gnome2_private or .gnome_private directories could be causing the problem. The .metacity directory under your user directory might have problems in them. You might move, rename these directories and see if the panel will start on the next start of the system.

Also, there could be a problem related to SELinux. You might log into a shell as root and run setenforce 0 before trying to start gnome to see if it starts after putting SELinux into permissive mode. (logs selinux failure issues but allows processes to happen).

If setting selinux to permissive allows the panel to start up, you might need to relabel your file system for SELinux. The easiest way to do this is to run
touch /.autorelabel
in a root terminal which will create an empty file in / with the .autorelabel name. You then need to type reboot in the shell or restart the computer in other ways. Your system should pause at reboot telling you that it is adding security information to your files and it will take awhile to complete. After the relabeling is completed, you should get your login screen and gnome when logged in.


Just my ideas. Someone else may have experienced your problem directly and know an easier way.

Jim
