Description talberts 2002-04-30 21:59:08 UTC 
Package: control-center
Severity: major
Version: 1.4.0.4
Synopsis: First time logging into the gnome desktop, the panel crashes almost every time
Bugzilla-Product: control-center
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
This version of Linux runs fine except for the very first time that the Gnome environentis started.  Roughly 9 out of 10 times, the panel crashes.  I know that the first time you enter Gnome, it runs a program to setup user preferences, so my guess is that the problem involves this software.

After I log out and re-loginto the Gnome environement, it works fine.

Thank you for your bug report.  This particular crash is a known
problem that is being worked on.  Hopefully it will be fixed in GNOME
1.4.1.

In the meantime, if you use an RPM-base linux distribution, you can
try the gnome-libs and gnome-core packages available at
http://www.gnome.org/~kmaraas and see if those help. If you do choose
to install these packages, it would be a really great help to us if
you report back the results.
