Woke up this morning and got ready to create a brand new account as such... but wouldn't you know it, in the process I noticed this hidden directory:
and wouldn't you know it, there was this suspicious file called:
and in that there were two rather suspicious looking sections:
Code:
[Failsafe]
0,id=117f000001000118034946800000038330002
0,RestartStyleHint=2
0,Priority=40
0,Program=gnome-panel
....
[Default]
0,id=117f000001000118037252500000042940000
0,Program=gkrellm
0,CloneCommand=gkrellm
0,RestartCommand=gkrellm --sm-client-id 117f000001000118037252500000042940000
....
so I said to myself, what if I copied the failsafe section into the default section being careful not to copy the line that said
id:
Code:
[Failsafe]
0,id=117f000001000118034946800000038330002
0,RestartStyleHint=2
0,Priority=40
0,Program=gnome-panel
....
[Default]
0,id=117f000001000118037252500000042940000
0,RestartStyleHint=2
0,Priority=40
0,Program=gnome-panel
....
and then give it a try.
turns out, it comes up with the splash screen remaining until you click on it. then, when you try to log off, it kinda pauses... then when you least expect it the log off dialog box comes up. be sure to save current session when it does, then sign on again!
it works!
problem solved.
just a little fyi for you
