One user has a corrupted GNOME desktop. When he logs in, about 3 icons show, no task bar, no menus. Lots of error dialogue boxes pop up. Dozens of error messages: GConf Error: Adding client to server's l;ist failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 The book suggested renaning .gconf and .gnome2 (actually misprinted as ./gconf and ./gnome2). I did this. When the user logged in again, no change. All other users are OK. I added another user - OK also. This is not a show-stopper as he can use KDE instead and that still works. OS is SuSE 10.0. All the users are logging in on thin clients (LTSP Linux Terminal Server Project) which have worked fine for 5 years.
