Re: what controls gmc Location: field??

[Robert Goodwin <rob fusionmediagroup com>]

well thanks...  it appears it was my theme.  I was using one of the
gnome bundled ones.  wish i could remember what it was called.  but now
i can't even run the gnome config tool without crashing panel.  I'm
getting Gdk errors.

Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 134 error_code 3 request_code 10 minor_code 0

this happens when i click on gnome help, gnome config, or gnome
terminal.  if i run under gdm i get this:

Starting program: /usr/bin/panel 
(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x404a0fa2 in _IO_fputs (str=0x80c3568 "execing: gnome-terminal\n",
fp=0x405376e0)
    at iofputs.c:39
iofputs.c:39: No such file or directory.

if you think a backtrace would help i can send it along but what is that
iofputs.c and what's its problem anyway?

thanks again.
