Re: Gnome Panel

["Aristide Aragon" <aristide lionking org>]

I was out of X when I moved ~/.gnome
I stted an applet from the console. I hadn't done this before because
I didn't know the ame of any program that were an applet, but after
reading this mail I thought of right clicking one and bingo!.
I got the error:
** WARNING **: Cannot activate a panel object

** WARNING **: Cannot start CORBA
and after that it sigfaulted.

I'm quite surprised the gnome uses CORBA, that means running gnome
remotely now means mor than just to change DISPLAY in the enviroment.

What could be wrong?

| Odd... I'm suprised that moving ~/.gnome/ didn't do anything...
Though

recreated
