	Do you have a working freetype setup ?

	The missing panel is somewhat more of a mystery, but I suspect that if
you run the control-center, and poke around (a lot) you'll find the
option 'keep panel on top' - I suspect it is just underneath the
nautilus root-window, I forget whether that's a known nautilus or WM
bug.

	That sucks indeed; try moving ~/.gnome elsewhere, and moving bits of it
back incrementally as you need them.

	HTH,
