gnome splash screen stays around

[Msquared]

Hiya!

The gnome splash screen on my FC4t1 setup stays around after I log in,
until I click in it.

If it's a known problem, please let me know which packages fix it (I can't
download all 440M worth of updates through my tiny dialup).  If it's not
yet a known problem, let me know what you need to know to help someone
diagnose the cause.

Have you added any "startup programs" to your GNOME session via gnome-
session-properties?  Does the problem go away when you remove them?

The last one to remain highlighted is RedHat Network.

No.

Interestingly, if I wait a whole minute or so, the splash screen does
actually seem to go away by itself.  I guess I was just being impatient.
:o)

I might have been confused by the fact that clicking on it made it go
away.  I didn't realise that was normal behaviour even while it was still
starting up services...

If you're not actually keeping your computer up to date with the
redhat network, you should probably turn off the tray icon.  I
suspect that is what the icon for RHN is for.

However, I cannot remember the last time I saw the startup splash
screen.
     [marc@DaClown marc]$ uptime   23:17:38 up 86 days, 23:41,  2 users,
 load average: 0.15, 0.19, 0.17 
So, I apologize if that is not what the icon is for.

running up2date from the command line, you'll see it spit out some error 
message.  I'm not sure, but I think the problem is addressed upon updating 
gnome-python2-gnomevfs.

Ah yes, up2date responds thusly:

Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs

Running this:

yum -y update gnome-python2*

Solved it.  I'll find out about the splash screen next time I reboot.

That solved the problem with the splash screen, too.

Hi!

I have the same problem, except that I added a startup program   in
session properties.
If I remove it, it works fine. It's a simple script for my sound
card, so I need it.
How can I fix it?

thx

This is a known problem.  Run yum update gdm
