I was getting a bit bored of KDE so I installed GNOME. I seemed to have most of the packages already so it didn't take long. When I tried to log in to a GNOME session the strangest thing happened...
First I saw the splash screen and all seemed well. Then there were two thin gray bars, one at the top and one at the bottom of my screen. They flashed on and off with roughly 2 second intervals with my KDM background still displayed. This kept up for about a minute until they disappeared completely. From here on all I could do was restart the X server.
All I can say is... WTF?
I deleted my .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private directories beforehand.
