JK; I ran into a related issue where gconf files were corrupted (unclean shutdown), if you look in the add/remove software under the keyword gconf, you'll find a package called gconf-cleaner, I dont think its a total solution but did correct several problems I created with file corruption. Also, I ran into several issues where the permissions for user and/or selinux wouldnt allow session saves/restores, so you may want to chown -R JK /home/JK (syntax probably wrong as well as user, but you get the idea.) good luck -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: jeffry killen [mailto:jekillen@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2009 5:28 PM To: gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Gnome startup scripts? I am working on Ubuntu 8.0.4; 64 bit version Gnome version 2.22.1 The system froze on shutdown once and since then when I boot the, Gnome desktop fails to display the panel as I have it set up. When I log into failsafe Gnome session, all appears to work as it should. The issue seems to be with a startup script or startup scripts. Can anyone tell me where these scripts are located, or should be located? This problem does not occur with other users on this system. Thank you in advance JK _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
