What the hell happened to my GNOME taskbar


Recommended Posts

I have just installed Fedora Core 4 Test 1, I have never had any real experiance with Linux so I have no idea what to do next.

I was rearranging the GNOME taskbars, I had one taskbar down the bottom like an OSX dock and I had just created another taskbar and arranged it to the bottom, it then crashed.

It now seems that the new taskbar I created is on top of the one with all my stuff on it and I can't access any programs. All I can do is right click the desktop and get into Terminal.

How can I repair my taskbar to remove the blank on or reset the taskbar to default?

1) Don't logon as root, create a standard user.

2) Do

rm - R ~/.gnome

rm - R ~/.gnome2

rm - R ~/.gnome2_private

this will reset all your settings in Gnome.

Use ubuntu (my choice) or Fedora Core 3 because I hard many rummers about Fedora Core 4 test 1 being extremely unstable.

That's why it's called 'Test 1'.
