Could you run that by me again?.... -- Scott <a href="http://angrykeyboarder.com">http://angrykeyboarder.com</a> ©2007 angrykeyboarder™ & Elmer Fudd.

This made the desktop crash and I remained with only a terminal window. Ran gconftool-2 and unset the icons theme, but it did not help. Then I unset some other options in desktop/interface/ and finally after a couple of reboots I managed to run nautilus but still no panels. I then reconfigured the gnome-panel and it seems to be ok now, although a) apparently gnome-theme-manager is not installed b) I get a strange error of pixmap theme engine not found or something like this.. Anyway, the GUI is back to life (for the time being...) Cheers, Michele
