Hello, After upgrading from Gnome 2.0 to Gnome 2.2 (Debian Sarge) there's kind of strange behavior: After starting up, I have a black desktop background only, and all the Icons except for the "Home" icon are missing (also in the menu). Also, while Gnome is starting, the mouse speeds up *a lot*, it's almost impossible to use it any more. Trying to start any configuration tools, I get the following errormessage: "The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly." I have tried to "apt-get --purge remove" gnome, metacity and gconf, and reinstalled everything. But the problem still persists. I have just upgraded to Gnome 2.4, but all to no avail, so I guess it must be a configuration problem. I have already tried to create a complete new user (with an empty homedir) but that didn't help either. It happens also if I start Gnome as root. Any hints? Thanks, -Samuel _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
