Description kwj 2002-10-05 20:09:36 UTC

Description of Problem:
The panel crashes immediately with the message
Applications "gnome-panel" (process 2893) has
crashed due to a fatal
error (Aborted)


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start gnome-panel
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen? 
Every time gnome-panel is starte

Additional Information:
This happens on both my laptop and my stationary
PC after upgrade from
redhat 7.3 to 8.0. May have been triggered by
switching between gnome
and kde using the redhat switching tool?

This error makes gnome completely unusable since
the panel tries to
restart all the time with an immediate crash as
the result.

If I try to start the gnome-panel in a konsole
from within kde I get the
messages:
