Description ciaraldi 2001-12-03 20:13:02 UTC 
Package: gnome-core
Severity: normal
Version: 1.4.0.4
Synopsis: When running startx, "panel" crashes with a segmentation fault.
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-core
Bugzilla-Component: panel

Description:
I just upgraded from Red Hat 7.1 to 7.2. Every time I log in as myself
and run "startx", Gnome starts and the icons appear, but the bar across the bottom of the screen starts to appear and then disapperas, with the message that "panel" has a segmentation fault.

When I log in as root, or if I create a new user and log in, it works OK. This only fails on the account I already had under the old version of the OS and Gnome. As part of the upgrade, I took the option of moving to the new Gnome and using the new desktop defaults.

Please try the latest gnome-libs and gnome-core packages available
from http://download.gnome.org/

These have fixes for many crashes and other bugs in both packages.
