Re: [Gware-users] gnome-panel likes to try and start twice

[Ed M. <edm...@ma...>]

the reason i say i cant logout right is because  like i said, removing 
the panel (the one with an order of 40) from the session instantly 
kills the panel  which also removes the other copy of it from the 
session, with no panel i cant use the panel menu, therefore i cant 
logout, is there a way to logout in gnome without using the panel, 
maybe that will fix it

and yes i'm in run level 4 using gdm
