Killed the .gnome and .gnome2 directories but the result is the same. Is
this package thrashing over the upcoming gnome3? or another problem.
The system is so alow in Gnome it's unusable. Have to kill the panel to
get anything done.
Did restarting gnome-panel finally solve it?
No it didn't - it restarted the same way.
Does this happen on squeeze, wheezy, sid...?
Sorry, should have mentioned it's Sid
Although you already tried with an empty "~/.gnome" and "~/.gnome2"
folder, I would ensure this has nothing to do with your current user
settings, that is, create a fresh-new user and login with it.
Did that this morning - the test user desktop was fine, so I started
looking around at the settings. The panel for the test user came up
using system colours...and my panel was set to use a solid background
color. When I switched my panel background to system colours, everything
settled down. I still don't know why changing the background to a colour
drive the panel crazy.But for now I can live with it - don't use Gnome
all that much anyway.
Thanks for the reply.
