Hello, after an update (12.March 06)of my redhat9 with yum from the fedora-legacy repository I experienced the following strange behaviour of my gnome desktop environment: when I logout and then login again, I do no longer find my complete old environment: 1. the desktop picture is replaced with a blank blue background 2. the desktop icons disappeared ( the .gnome-desktop directory is still there and the files of the desktop icons also) 3. the usual popup-menue which appears when you right-click on the desktop does not appear. The desktop seems to be totally inactive. 4. if I start mozilla, I don't see anything happening. Nevertheless, run-mozilla.sh is there as well as mozilla and mozilla-bin, but not windows appear on the screen. This is also true for firefox which is installed separately. As I checked, the updates done at that time included all from 18.Feb.06 up to 07.Mar.06, i.e. squid, openssh, Apache httpd, sudo, mozilla, nfs-utils, gaim, perl, PostgreSQL, perl-DBI, XFree86 and pcre. I don't logout very often and did it this time to restart the X-server because of the XFree86 update. Does anyone have a suggestion what went wrong? I got this working once again by removing all (backed-up) gnome configuration files and all temporary files in /tmp. After that it worked again, but with a logout today, I am facing the same problem again and I don't want to clean-up this again and again just for the sake of login-out. I would appreciate any help. Best regards, Joachim P.S.: I did register to fedora-legacy-list today. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
