Description Laurence Middleton 2003-05-23 02:15:50 UTC

Package: gnome-panel
Severity: major
Version: 2.0.6
Synopsis: The panel crashes upon start of session repeatedly, then disappears and does not come back even after rebooting.

BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem: The panel crashes upon start of session
repeatedly, then disappears and does not come back even after
rebooting.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start Redhat 8 -- log in as regular user
2. unplug usual USB mouse and try to use laptop trackpad -- cursor
messes up GNOME panel by showing/hiding rapidly as the cursor jumps
around
3. next login, the panel appears in minimized position and immediately
crashes several times. Each time the crash dialog is OK'd, it
immediately crashes again.
4. finally the panel just vanishes and does not come back, even with
repeated logins.
5. I renamed the ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 directories to hide them (hoping
GNOME would revert to safe defaults) and rebooted. The panel appeared
minimized and immediately crashed as in 3. above

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen?
It is still happening after 5 reboots
