I've recently upgraded Gnome-Desktop, Gnome-Panel and Nautilus to 2.4 versions. Now when I start up Gnome, the component initialisation only goes halfway through (the last two components to get initialised are the panel and Nautilus, then it stops), and I get the following error messages: There was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activation server. The error code is: 1078774059 The panel will now exit. Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to register the file manager view server. The panel eventually starts up all OK, but I am left with a desktop that is stuck in the default settings. I can't edit any desktop preferences. I can't even find an option to edit any desktop preferences. The closest I have come to editing the preferences is right-click the desktop background, choose "Change desktop background" from the popup menu, and then select a different background. Selecting a different background has no effect, the background stays the same. I have obviously messed up something, but what? How can I resolve this mess, short of reinstalling the entire Linux distribution? I can provide more detailed information about any components if needed. -- /--Joona Palaste-------------------------------------------------------\ \----------------------------------------------palaste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
