I am trying Ubuntu, which I installed in parallel with Fedora. After a short while of screwing around, I got it to the point where I can ssh to it, install various packages like mplayer, etc. However, I have a problem. When I start a GNOME session, I get a blank beige screen, the mouse moves and stuff, but gnome-panel, nautilus and other things do not come up. X works OK, but with no useful content. I created a test user and its menus are perfect. I blew away all .gconf* and .gtk* and shit like that, in my own account, but it is not helping. How can I wipe out my Gnome config and start with a "clean slate". Thanks i
