i'm using gnome. when i login as another user - all is well, log back in as root and the desktop is in the same state. Is there a similar command for gnome?
it asked me whether i wanted to remove the panel, i said yes. but the situation is the same.
when i log in as root the panel is not there but the roots home, start here and wastebasket is. galeon opens just like it had crashed at that point and nothing seems to change.
each time i type "panel" the terminal does not return to a prompt.
thanks for your help so far at least i have a workaround
When you type in a command in the terminal/console it won't return you to the prompt until the program has finished. That is, unless you do the following:
panel & will run panel and return to prompt immediately.
