Re: extra gnome panel

James Henstridge,
     My small window showed up again this morning, the one informing me 
it detects another panel and should I start it yes or no. I tried "grep 
,Program ~/.gnome/session" and there was only ONE line with 
n,Program=panel in the file. I greped before and after pressing the YES 
button with the same grep result. Also no second panel actually showed 
up. (Yesterday I started the second panel and removed all the icons and 
applets from the panel with 2mousebutton remove applet.) Maybe this made 
for no actual panel to show up? If this `problem' interests you, I am 
willing to pursue it, but otherwise I realize it is not a big problem in 
the scheme of things and wouldn't want to take a large chunk of your time.
