It looks like the quicklauch applet process has /root as its current working directory when started from the panel. Can you look at the output of "ps auxwwf", note the PID and PPID (the parent process's PID), and then look at the number directories under /proc? They correspond to all your processes and you can look into them for more info in these processes, like with what name and arguments they were started, and what their pwd is. Just do a "ls -l" in /proc/<PID> and /proc/<PPID>. If indeed the process pwd is /root, then the app is probably buggy, probably the gnome panel, but I can't say for sure from a distance. If you do feel sure and you're not running unoffcial debs, file a bug in the debian bug tracking system.. > Below is a full listing of the ~/.gnome directory: I'm sorry, but that has little useful info.
