Since some day after I was having one problem after login in gnome, and just ONE problem was pssin' me off, so I searched in the net and find some people with the same problem, but found these people with the same no response to the problem. So I decided find the solution, after all this isnt windows where you have to live with a system problem (missconfiguration).
After login I was getting a messege saying that the gnome-panel is already running and now will quit. After doing everything thing we imagine be the right thing to do this annoying thing still continued (things like close all panels, check in the gnome startup programs, save the session and logout, thing like these)...
after reading the session file of the gnome I saw a duplicated field there, and with 2 commands the problem is gone here...
Code:
$mv ~/.gnome2/session ~/.gnome2/session.OLD
$touch ~/.gnome2/session
if anything goes wrong you can aways restore to you old file.
Code:
$rm ~/.gnome2/session
$mv ~/.gnome2/session.OLD ~/.gnome2/session
logout (dont save the session) and login again.
If you save the session you may receive the same error again (off course if you have anything you want to start in the next session you may want to have to receive this error). Here to avoid this problem to happen again I changed the permission of the session file only to read
Code:
$chmod 440 ~/.gnome2/session
if anyone have better ideia be very welcome, until there this is the working solution.
