It should provide a button to report a bug - that will give you a really simple UI to get a gdb backtrace and report it. If you want, I can take a quick look at the backtrace independently of your bug report. > Since this is only happening to one user (who hasn't customised anything > to any great degree), I tried deleting the contents of .gnome*, but the > problem keeps recurring.

Or what > am I missing? Most of GNOME 2.x configuration is stored in GConf, which is a generalised configuration system [ with all sorts of tasty features, but I can explain those another time ;-) ]. If you're not at all fussed about losing configuration temporarily, you might want to run a recursive unset on all the panel settings, like this: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel Try that, let us know how it goes. :-) - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norway http://2004.guadec.org/ We're passe with class, eh? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
