Sorry about "top post", didn't know :-)
Well, I should have checked the obvious!!! gnome-panel didn't run after
the upgraded because it wasn't on the system ??? Something broke badly
during the upgrade to gnome 2, perhaps I should have been upgrading more
often? I found that most of gnome wasn't installed. Could be that
package dependency is broken for gnome ?
