Re: gnome upgrade - some icons disappeared

[Erdi Balint <erdibalint@freemail.hu>]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the help, in fact I got it working somehow, maybe upgrading 
the gdm solved it, I am not quite sure. Now I'm having problems with 
keyboard layouts (I cannot install additional ones), but I'll sort it 
out somehow.

The gconftool2 command that you suggested does give a huge amount of 
printouts, what does it mean?

thank you,
Balint
