Hi Sam,

I also had this problem, but it started appearing only after I enabled 
saving settings of the last session in preferences. Now I run Gnome 
Panel, Midnight Commander and WindowMaker under potato r3 and never had 
any problems since. I noticed that problem happened since I used save 
the last session feature.

I removed ~./gnome/session file and it didn't work, but then I removed 
~./gnome/ folder and that worked... This is a crude method, but it 
worked for me...

Take care,


Davor
