This may not be quite the right list, but I'm getting desperate. My Gnome desktop has gone catatonic. First I lost the pager, then the bar with the applets (can't remember its name). Quitting & reloading X wouldn't bring it back. I tried switching window managers (which is always a mistake) and now all I get when I start X is (I think) Sawmill, with icons for Nautilus and the Trash can. If I start Nautilus the title bar is off the top of the screen and I can't get it down. The right mouse button works but the centre button does nothing, so I can't get any applications, the only way I can get out of X is Alt-Ctrl-F2.
(If I log in as root, which happens to be configured for KDE, everything works). OK, what I *want* to do at this stage is delete some config files so X will start with the default settings. But I don't want to delete the wrong files and kill X altogether. I have a heap of emails I don't want to lose, for starters. Can anyone help? cr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
