Hi again !
                I don't use GNOME so am not that bothered - but here
goes :

when Gnome starts up and the deskop appears, a Question window appears.
No buttons or text appear inside it, and pressing ENTER or ESC does
nothing !

At the same time, the main menus (application, places, desktop do
nothing when they're clicked on)

If I right-click, close it - and choose Force Quit - the desktop
refreshes and the Question dialog returns !



Double clicking on System icon on desktop, returns this error window :
Can't display "system:///"

any guesses ?

THx !

Hi Matthew

I had the same problem, here is what I found out:
The gnome-mixer-applet is missing !
Thats why gnome-panel (or gnome-menu - don't know for sure) is showing
an error-dialog, which is broken...

There are several ways to fix this:
1. Install the missing applet ( sounds easy, but I didn't manage to do
so, because of some missing libraries or something ^^)

2. You can move a folder with config-files to a backup directory (thats
what I did):
as root:
mkdir ~/mixer-applet-bak &&
mv $GNOME_PREFIX/share/gnome-applets/mixerapplet ~/applet-bak

Im not really sure where to find the mixer-applet-dir so be careful with
this, it's just a guess !
You probably have to search for it.

I hope this hint helps
