YMMV on this as I'm a KDE power user and as a result, dislike GNOME's crippled options with a passion, but I'd suggest checking dbus. It sounds like the dbus messages aren't getting thru telling the app over which the mouse is hovering that it's there. First, assure dbus is running. It may be as simple as it's now failing to start for some reason. Hopefully it does start manually, at least. Note that you can start it as a system service if necessary. If you didn't have it started as a system service already, it may be that the auto-start is screwed up, but starting it as a system service will still work. If it won't start, or it's going, maybe certain apps haven't been rebuilt after a change somewhere. Try running revdep-rebuild and see if that helps. May or may not help, as I said I'm not a GNOME user. It's worth checking, however, and I do hope it helps. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
