------------------edit--------------------
nevermind, after removing my .gconf* directories as well as .gtkrc* it began working.
]]>use a *box or something until JGC fixed it,
]]>I also run gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel.
BTW i will like to down grade gnome and gnome-extra. Which version is last known to have worked. How do i go about it?
Thanks.
]]>The -3 version of gnome-panel fixes the default panel setup. If you want to get the default panel layout without purging your other settings, run this:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
then watch closely how gnome-panel crashes, hit the restart button and your panel is restored to default settings.
]]>when do you think this problem will be fixed? As in, a fresh installation of gnome & gnome-extra actually works without the need for a script?
]]>thnx.
]]>When I invented the .install framework for gnome applications, I made an error. Someone else took this buggy version into ghex (I fixed it in my first package). After a while, I've been using the file from ghex as template. Just change pkgname and include it, should work.
On upgrades, nothing was wrong. On clean installations however, things do break.
I'm still fixing packages now and then while I update them or when I find them, but in the meanwhile, run the script from the bugreport, it queries pacman for all installed schemas and registers them in the GConf database.
Be sure to kill all gconfd-2 processes after running the script as root.
]]>thnx
]]>Upgraders don't see anything of this bug, but it affects newly installed gnome-panels.
The panel-default-setup.entries file has to be registered in the gconf database to get initial panels on top and bottom of your gnome panel.
]]>Like the panel at the bottom with the window switcher and application start button like in windows. How do i get it back? I have reinstall gnome several times without success.
