my gnome desktop suddenly has no task bar, nor any control of the windows, almost as if there is no windows manager. It opens with an Evolution window, but if I close that I have nothing but a green screen with a mouse cursor.
I’ve tried a complete reinstall of SUSE 11.0 but no change. Even going back to 10.2 it remains the same. How do i completely reset the desktop to system defaults as if in a new installation?
Many thanks,

Rename your /home/yourUserName/.gnome and /home/yourUserName/.gnome2
directories and logout/login to see if that helps.
Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I wound up doing a complete install of 11.1 and, with the exception of Evolution not emptying the trash everything is working very well.
Any advice on the Evolution “trash” issue?
