Dear Josselin, so far I had some success in "seeing" the applications in gnome-panel:
- I was logged in as user A, than I have opened terminal, xhost +, su as other user (B) in login shell, exported DISPLAY, then I have delete ALL hidden directories as user B and run gnome-panel. Suddenly I could see applications in the menu. After I logged out and logged in again through gdm into Gnome session as user B, I could not see the Applications, it was empty. I tried deleting all hidden directories and running gnome-panel again, but nothing appeared. Further, I came back as user A into IceWM session, and repeated the same process, xhost +, su as user B, exported DISPLAY and deleted all hidden directories as user B and run gnome-panel. NO APPLICATIONS showed. Then I repeated again, restarted gdm killed all process, also restart computer, tried again as user B to see the Applications menu but nothing was there. Loggin as root or any other user in Gnome does not show Applications menu. I had some success, after deleting some panel configurations, deleting .gconfd/saved-state and some accels, basically directories which were formed when I COULD SEE APPLICATIONS first time I logged in as user B, then I got panel which I could use, add application, use the right click and so on. However, Applications menu is empty. Panel works fine, without applications. Armando -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
