I solved it - I think the problem occured when I change the icons from the gnome-look website to some cool ones. Here is what I did just in case someone else is having the same problem maybe it can help you.
1. I followed the instructions on gutsy on the power down issue 2. I found a web site that showed how to reset gnome 3. I uninstalled and reinstalled my resticted nvidia driver. one of these worked, -- gnome freezes, keyboard, mouse moves but useless, icons do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
