Description rick_stuart 2002-03-12 16:42:17 UTC 
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: 1.4.0.4
Synopsis: Panel is SEGFAULTING
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel

Description:
I am on a laptop.  I have had a couple of issues with filesystem
corruption lately.  The problem started when I booted the laptop this
morning and logged in.  It was using an old session.  I
ctl-alt-backspaced the session and asked for a clean slate.  I am still
having the problem.

Next I will wipe all gnome config files and try starting as a new user.

Later,

Rick

Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2002-03-12 18:27:48 UTC 
Please try the latest (1.4.0.6) release and gnome-libs-1.4.1.4 too.
You should be able to recover the panel by deleting ~/.gnome/panel.d

Maybe we should make gnome_config_*() more resistant to
invalid/corrupted configuration files?
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2002-07-12 10:51:15 UTC 
Any luck with newer releases?
