gnome-panel startup problem (NOT /tmp/.ICE-unix )

[Ion-Mihai Tetcu]

Hi,


I'm "gnome-newbie" so please don't shoot to hard.

On a newly installed 5.3-STABLE with updated ports tree I've installed
gnome2 a few days ago, hoping is a little bit less resource-hungry
compared with kde.

Today, finding some time to play, I've log-in into gnome and enabled the
accessibility module (gnopernicus ?) plus added a few applets (?) (the
system monitor and a few others in the bottom bar). 

After logout when I login now I get a box saying: " I've detected a
panel already running and will now exit" - the result being no menu bar,
no bottom bar and no shortcuts (ALT+F1, Alt+F2..) working.

I've tried to remove gnome config files from my home dir (see below, I
don't think I've missed any, but..) with no good result.

Please give me some (doc) pointer on what to do.
