Comment 2 i.nousias 2006-10-04 11:21:57 UTC

it was constantly doing this every time I logged on (hence accidentally reported this twice)

I manage to "solve" this by re-installing all gnome-related packages.

Initially I thought it was the control-center, then the gnome-session and gnome-panel, but re-installing only those didn't solve it. After re-installing all gnome related packages, the error disappeared. Unfortunately I don't know which package was "conflicting" after all
