I installed gnome-panel-2.3.6.2-2.i386.rpm from rawhide, and I guess in so doing, I manged to kill off the Gnome panel. The only apps that run are the ones that I have configured to autostart. I no longer have the applications list, or even access to the console window.
HOW do I get back the default panel?

HOW do I get back the default panel?
Go back in time and undo the decision to install rawhide packages. If you don't know the answer to that, you shouldn't be running stuff from rawhide.
Enough with the lecturing...downgrade to gnome-panel from severn, and/or delete your ~/.gnome dir.

I *am* aware of the dangers of using packages from rawhide. If one does not make mistakes, one does not really *learn*, n'est pas? Or, I could simply run Microsoft Windows, and if anything goes wrong, sit there and go: "Duh!".
(FWIW, that's how I learned OS/2, first by breaking stuff, without really knowing how or why, and afterwards by *knowingly* deleting the hidden system files...)

deleting the ./gnome folder doesn't restore it. Installing gnome-panel-2.2.0.1-9.i386.rpm from the Severn Disk 1 recreates a panel _at the top of the screen_ similar to the one in ximian. I no longer have the sliding panel at the *bottom* of the screen.

That's a fairly serious package bug (the %post has fallen out of sync with the actual names of the panel .schemas files, apparently).
Will result in things not working.

I don't know if this can help but rawhide is broken :
yum-arch -d -l os/i386 Errors within the dir(s): os/i386 depcheck: package gnome-applets needs libgtop-2.0.so.1 depcheck: package gnome-applets needs libgtop_common-2.0.so.1 depcheck: package gnome-applets needs libgtop_sysdeps-2.0.so.1 depcheck: package gnome-system-monitor needs libgtop-2.0.so.1 depcheck: package gnome-system-monitor needs libgtop_common-2.0.so.1 depcheck: package gnome-system-monitor needs libgtop_sysdeps-2.0.so.1
Get back libgtop2-2.0.2-2 fix this problem.

I see. I guess I'll wait another week or so before I venture into rawhide territory again.

Description of problem: from the Start Here icon on the KDE desktop, the "Sessions" applet does not load so that one may add a program to startup when logging into the KDE desktop. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102533
Kindly verify and add comments. Thanks.

Hi Elton,
(FWIW, that's how I learned OS/2, first by breaking stuff, without really knowing how or why, and afterwards by *knowingly* deleting the hidden system files...)
Fair enough, but the fact that you do this testing/breaking on a beta release makes it hard (at least for me) to distinguish whether something is actually broken or it is a lack of expertise on your behalf that is causing the problem. This case obviously belongs to the first category, but that seems not always to be the case. Ah well...
Bye, Leonard.

It seems the way gnome-panel handles defaults changed a lot. I've updated our defaults in gnome-panel 2.3.6.2-3, which should fix this issue.
