Sudenly '/home/me/.gconf/apps/panel' lost ..

[Thomas Kraus-Rump <trump epost de>]

Hello there,

after trying to enable the 'dma' option for the 'dvd' harddisk 'hdb' to 
hear also a dvd-music-trail without chopping i added the line: "options 
ide-cd dma=1" to '/etc/modules.conf' for "RedHat 8.0". So, for what i 
have found in the internet, everything runs fine. But when i restart the 
machine may be next day, and when i switched to 'startx' the panel from 
'/home/me/.gconf/apps/panel' is lost. The error message told: "Create a 
file /home/me/.gconf/apps/panel/172,378conf.xml goes wrong: file or 
directory not found".
Delete that line in '/etc/modules.conf' and start again - everything is 
allright, like before - but i have no activate 'dma' for my 'dvd'.
May be someone could give me a hint - would be great!

Best Regards
