Thank goodness I installed KDE because less than a week after upgrading
to RH8.0 from RH7.3 my laptop suffered a major GNOME2 problem at
startup. The panel crashed leaving only its "hide" arrow in the lower
left hand corner of the screen and these two error messages.
Error
(-) Application "gnome-panel" (process 1115) has crashed due
to a fatal error.
(Aborted)
Error
(-) Application "battstat-applet-2" (process 1140) has crashed
due to a fatal error.
(Segmentation fault)
Those eventually cleared, but now all my GNOME desktop and menu fonts
are about 1 pixel high. I haven't a clue where to begin looking for the
problem in GNOME2. Suggestions?
I don't know if they mean anything, but I found these in
/var/log/messages:
