Hi,
I updated a few packages using the up2date program.
Everything seemed ok except that after logout and
trying to login again I get a error message saying
that
gnome-settings-daemon has found a problem, after that
the system freezes no matter what I do. I also noticed
that I can login using KDE without problem but some
applications such as evolution stopped working. Any
ideas/experience with this type of problem?
My intuition is that there was some incompatibiity
installing some of the packages (gnome). I am thinking
that I could uninstall gnome and re-install it (do not
know how yet!!!) but your ideas or experiences are
welcome.
Thank you,
Mauricio

Sometimes the gnome environment gets messed up somehow. I find that if I
remove the gnome files in your home directory that gnome will reset itself. You
will lose any customizations that you might have made but at least gnome will
right itself. The directories to delete are .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private.
You can append a 3 to the grub kernel line to boot into a console. Then erase
those directories and type startx to start up with X windows and the gnome
environment.
