I've not experienced that from recent updates, but similar things from recent errors. Some hints for the future: You can often move a window around by holding the ALT key, clicking on any part of the window, and dragging it around. If you had a terminal window open, still, you might have been able to run top, find and kill gnome-panel. It'd restart and give you back your menus. Losing window borders can be down to compiz or metacity (or something else). You can play with them on the command line to restart. But it may be easier to just log out and back in again. > Went digging around to look for stuff to help describe the problem. > Looked in upgrade.log and found lots of packages with errors that look > like the one below: That didn't look good. I wonder if you're having hard drive corruption errors. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
