Re: Nautilus and Gnome Panels

[Antonio Rodriguez <arodriguez31@cfl.rr.com>]

I must have some troublesome configuration:
dpgk -s sawfish yields: " purge ok-not installed"
however, sawfish is installed and is shown as active windows manager in the
gnome control center.
 the gnome version I have running is the one that came with woody , 1.4
Another funny thing is that now Nautilus isn'y running, but I still can not
see any panel, nor I see any way of restoring them, big foot and similar
are gone from the screen
