OK, a while back I installed a few apps from add on things in YAST2 and when I tried to load Gnome, all I saw was a LITTLE tiny panel at the top, with just the basic Gnome drop down menu. My wall paper was gone, no icons, no bar at the bottom, just a top panel with the regular Gnome drop down, and I can NOT for the life of me figure out what happened or how to fix it so it looks normal again.
I'm to the point I was ready to completely delete Gnome and reinstall it but then it seems to be that if I do the system could break with all my other apps that need something from Gnome.
Why would you delete and reinstall software over an issue of data loss/corruption? Reinstalling the software won't fix bring back a corrupted/lost .gnome directory. You owe the oracle 100 repititions of "Linux is not Windows"
So does anyone have any idea what happened? Is my system now doomed to having to just deal with this? WindowMaker and KDE and everything else work just fine but if I want to use Gnome I can't really, it's like everything is gone that I did with it.
YOUR directory where gnome keeps the startup/config data (/home/YourLoginNameHere/.gnome or something like that) got hosed. I've had a similar thing happen with my .kde directory.
Has anyone ever seen this before? I'd really like to fix it back to the way it was before or even the default SUSE look where I at least have task bars and icons.
Thanks all,
