<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">yeah, that one. It's the GNOME foot on my laptop, and the Ubuntu circle of friends on two other desktops machines. They're all on breezy and all have ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-artwork at the latest versions. </blockquote></div> Reinstall ubuntu-desktop. But, be warned. This is a meta package that will call in other things if you've removed them. It sounds like you've removed some peice of the Gnome Desktop. If you have and you reinstall ubuntu-desktop, you'll reinstall the application you've removed as well. I hope that made sense. --andy
