I went to use one of my systems running F12 this morning and I found it in a very strange state. I had left it running VMware Workstation 7 defragmenting the virtual drive associated with one of my VMs. When I went back to it my monitor (24" Gateway) had popped up a notice saying the resolution was not set optimally. I don't know why it did this since it was working fine earlier. No matter what I did I could not login to the system. The gnome-screensaver was running so I logged in from another system and killed the screen saver, but I still could not login. So I rebooted the system. After it came up I was able to login, but all that is displayed is my desktop background. No desktop icons, no upper and lower gnome panels, and no terminal sessions; however, when I entered <ctrl-alt-f2> to get to a vertual console and entered ps axlw | grep 500 where 500 is my numeric user id it showed gnome-session was running, gnome-terminal was running, and there were 12 bash shells running. No matter how many times I reboot and try to login I still get nothing displayed other than the desktop background. If I right click on the desktop I do get the popup to create folder, launcher, etc. Any one have any idea how to fix this? On a separate note the gnome-screensaver and VMware Workstation do not work well together. There have been many occasions where I will be doing stuff in one on my VMs, click on one of the other virtual desktops and all of a sudden gnome-screensaver kicks in and I have to login again. At the time this happens the mouse is being controlled by F12 since I was able to click on the virtual desktop applet.
