Default GNOME session won't bring show desktop

[mattppcintel]

I recently upgraded to 9.04 and now when I try to log in using the default gnome session I get a black screen with the mouse and nothing else. If I log in using gnome failsafe everything comes up fine. Is there a way to reset the default gnome session? I don't like having to log in to failsafe mode.

Hi,

you can reset gnome by deleting the ~/.gnome folder, but this will also kill many app settings.

sudo rm -r ~/.gnome
