Package: panel Version: 1.4.0.4 Severity: >Synopsis: fatal error (segmentation fault) >Class: sw-bug System: Red Hat 7.2 (i386) GNOME workstation >Description: upon issuing "startx" the loading process began, and the cursor appeared. When the lighthouse scene appeared, all icon graphics appeared, including "panel" then the dialog box: Application "panel" (process 1245) has crashed due to a fatal error (Segmentation fault) >How-To-Repeat: I simply went back to the terminal screen and a user prompt, and re-typed "startx" without going to a full re-boot of linux, which I'll try next.

After causing the failure for the 2nd time, I returned to the Linux text screen, and from my user prompt, called for a reboot. The system rebooted linux (my version is Red Hat 7.2 with XFree86 updates from the mirror sites), and got back to the text login prompt. I logged in again at the user level. At the next prompt, I entered "startx" and got the full GNOME screen with the bottom screen panel. I sure wish I could have included a dump of memory following the failure. I just don't know how to do that. john kohler Daly City, CA
