Doesnt sound right Indeed, it wasn't right -- all gnome apps cause the same error message. There is a gconf setting (presumably obsolete now) that asks gnome-settings-daemon to load the 'gnomebreakpad' module to handle crash reports. Unchecking that box in the gconf-editor silences the error message. GConf is scheduled to be replaced with some other gizmo in gnome-3.0 anyway. If gnome-3.0 turns out anything like kde-4.0 I'll be deleting it very quickly.

The new version of bug-buddy no longer supplies that library, and when you run bug-buddy from a command line it prints that error -- even though I can't find any file on my machine that was linked to it. Very annoying. Anyway, if you're seeing that error it means that somebody is trying to start bug-buddy, which is never a good sign. You can move your gnome-related directories on at a time, if you want, but I find it easier to keep a test user around for the same purpose. Your choice.

The only thing that depends on bug-buddy on my system is bug-buddy-python. Have you rebuilt that?

My guess is that everything will work normally, so you'll need to figure out what item in your regular ~/gnome-related directories is causing the gnome panel to hang. Good guess. Should I do the following? Is it safe? mv ~/.gnome2/panel2.d someplace-safe mkdir ~/gnome2/panel mv ~/.gconf/apps/panel someplace-safe mkdir ~/.gconf/apps/panel thanks, allan
