Is this trace at all useful? Please close if not, maintainers...
Comment 2 Gediminas Paulauskas 2002-03-02 16:59:18 UTC 
similar bugs are http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72940 and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73116

panel_load_global_config() crashes a lot. I suspect
gconf_client_all_entries() returns invalid list, or if not, anyway
this is related to gconf tightly. 

for me sometimes it helps just to gconftool-2 --shutdown and start the
panel again

Comment 6 Bart.Theunissen 2002-03-04 09:47:16 UTC 
Found a problem on my system. Permissions on
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas was 700, setting permissions 755
(like all directories there), it (gconftool-2
--shutdown;gnome-panel-2) works.
Comment 7 Luis Villa 2002-03-04 15:35:25 UTC 
Bart: where did you get your packages from? If this permissions issue
was a packaging problem we should probably get it fixed...
Comment 8 Bart.Theunissen 2002-03-04 15:43:09 UTC 
I install everything from Red-Carpet
Comment 9 Luis Villa 2002-03-04 15:49:26 UTC 
boc: could you take a quick look at this and see if our packages are
at fault? Thanks...
Comment 10 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-04 16:02:19 UTC 
Jacob, what we just did in the RH GConf package is add a 
"chmod -R 755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults"
and ditto for gconf.xml.mandatory in %post - there are too many people
with leftover hosed installs so we just "repair" it on upgrade, 
and if someone actually wants a limited-access backend they'll need 
to use a different directory name for it.
Comment 11 jacob berkman 2002-03-04 16:53:37 UTC 
ok, i've set up the g2 snaps to do this and opened a bug against
ximian gnome to fix the gconf 1 packages as well.
