Gnome problem after upgrading from FC6 to FC7

[Graeme Nichols <gnichols tpg com au>]

Hello Folks,

I have a gnome problem after upgrading from FC6 to FC7. I think it is 
something to do with the gnome panel.

Booting to a GUI all goes well to the login screen. After logging in all 
goes to the point where the panel is loading. It reaches to 
approximately the middle of the screen and up pop what appears to be a 
dialog box (error? info?. I don't know as it is blank). It all hangs at 
this point. Trying to close the dialog box eventually brings up an 
informational box that states that "" is not responding. Wait or force 
quit? Continued waiting could lead to old age. Quitting leads to the 
disappearance of the dialog/warning box and the bit of the panel (which, 
by the way, hasn't popped up so I have no way of knowing just what 
application is hanging) that started to load. You can just see a white 
strip at the bottom of the screen.

The two applications I start at login, yakuake and korganizer, start OK 
and respond to the mouse and keyboard BTW.

I can also run what ever programs I can start in a terminal window (yakuake)

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Can anyone point me in the 
right direction to fix the problem. Is it possible to remove apps from 
the panel at the command prompt?

I tried updating gnome with the following command: 'yum update gnome' 
but yum came back and said there was nothing to do. Did I use the 
correct command?

All help appreciated.
