Have any of you experienced this with GTK applications? It happens with all but Firefox. I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. None of my KDE applications do this. I've gone so far as to backup my needed files and remove my whole home directory to see if something was corrupt. I've made sure everything is good in Sax2 as well.
It's only happened since the update before last of the Gnome progs and libs. It's REALLY annoying.
Note: If I login as root.. everything is fine.
I don't understand why root is different, but I have seen recent discussion of blacked out menu's attributed to glib and people having to revert to prior versions. I believe I saw this on suse-linux-e but seem to fail to find it googling. It was a recent conversation.
I found the conversation.. I've never deleted anything from the gmail account. woohoo! It paid off. I have to downgrade to the pkg on the 9.3 disks. I suppose that will make it impossible to upgrade ANY gnome program with apt. *sigh* Wonderful. Thanks all who replied. -Ben -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
