Re: Gnome problem after upgrade from FC6 to FC7

["Graeme Nichols" <gnichols5 gmail com>]

Hello Bruce,

I have managed to look at the .xsession-errors file under gnome and the contents follow:

that it is not already running, remove /home/graeme/.DCOPserver_barney__0

As you can see, lots of errors. The weather applet is not loading. Maybe this is the reason for my problem. How can i delete
the weather applet from the panel using the command line? I cannot get any response to the mouse by clicking on the gnome desktop.

Thank you.

Regards,

Graeme.

Do you see this in the ~/.xsession-errors ?


** (nm-applet:3524): WARNING **: <WARN>  nma_dbus_init(): could not

configuration file'

It's some sort of file permissions error, because if you set

System: Administration: Login Screen: Security
Permissions: Allow login if write permissions on user's home direcory

that problem goes away.
