It did not help. I noticed that .local, .icons, and .themes directories are missing from the home directory of the affected user. I have a couple FC6 systems and one user whose gnome panel is OK has .local directory but other user whose gnome panel is OK does not have this directory. All three directories are absent in home directories of root accounts.
