I realized that once GDM is started that I can log into the machine via XDMCP. Things seem to work the same as when using startx.
The missing menu and crashing applets made me wonder so I ran: dpkg-reconfigure `dpkg -l "*gnome*" | grep ^ii | cut -d " " -f 3` to reconfigure all packages with gnome in them. dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop-environment did not reconfigure the sub packages. Even after doing so the GDM remote login does not change, many applet crashes and still no menu. See attached screenshot where the effected machine is in the Xnest. All my custom application icons are missing from the panel, all menu ubuntu menu buttons are also missing. I mention these details in case they are a hint to what is going on. Perhaps these gnome problems are another bug, but something is certainly messed after the upgrade. Is there a bug channel specifically for upgrading issues? I suppose just the forums. Thanks, b.
