Public bug reported:
When I try to log in into Gnome. After the log in screen disappeared,
the only thing I got was a light brown screen for a while then a grey
box in the top left corner of the screen. And then, nothing else, it
just froze there forever. I had to kill it with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.
After looking on the web, I found a potential solution on a forum which was to
delete .gconf* and .gnome* . Didn't work. The XOrg.0.log was not very
informative either as all the errors I got were not fatal. The .xsession-errors
was even less informative; the messages it contained were not errors at all.
I have also tried to duplicate the commands in /usr/share/gnome/default.session
but it doesn't work, infact if I create a new user and i try to log-in with
gnome i have the same problem.
If I try to log-in with XFCE it loads the desktop icons but it can't
load panel.
I can only log in with KDE, but i don't like it very much...
But I can't load many gnome application with it.
If i tried to set
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
to use Gnome frontend it says that it can't initialize it and so load Dialog
frontend.
I don't know if this is correlated with the first problem.
