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 :

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
