Hi Kenneth

I don't know about the Pannel icons, but if your desktop icons and windows
dissapear, you can reload nautilus by typing alt+f2 and then "nautilus"
without the commas. Think your problem is GNOME related though.
Did you try logging off and back on without restarting? and what happens if
you do restart?

About the AMD's freezing, thanks, if I ever have the problem again, thast
the first thing I'll check!

Hello Fernando, Scot & John: kindly ignore my earlier request. I learned
it's feasible to do a gconftool correction in terminal:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

Finally,reload panel:

  pkill gnome-panel
it worked and I'm using my laptop again. Thanks again.
Kenneth

John, powering off and on would not work. I did not know about "nautilus.. I
used a terminal routine which solved my panel repopulation question. Yes, it
was gnome related. Many, many thanks! Ken
