I have a problem with a gnome panel crashing, because of unknown reasons. The platform is FC 6 with most recent updates.
Usually I do updates from my default user account using pup or yumex after entering root password. I don't see any error messages
in /var/log/messages indicating a problem.
A message indicating problem appears in xses-errors file
(gnome-panel:11574): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'start-here'. The '
hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
Deleting .gnome*, .gconf* and bunch of other files after shutting down X server does not solve the problem.
At the address http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/gconf-28.html there is command which
suppose to restore default preference values. I am not sure whether this applies to my case.
I am not sure with what I have to replace user-configuration-source.
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --recursive-unset
Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0
None of the resolved addresses are writable; saving configuration settings will not be possible
Must specify one or more keys to recursively unset.
I appreciate any tips.
