Today after update, which is irrelevant to this problem in my opinion, gnome-panel stopped showing on login.
But the weird thing is, when I start the panel manually from terminal everything starts up just fine. No errors, no warnings. It's like gnome never tries to start panel in the first place.
Tried everything, from reseting panel configuration to reinstalling the package. I tried to remove the package and then to login without the panel installed. What I got is a session crash and I was back on the login screen again. So, basically gnome does try to load gnome-panel but for some weird reason it doesn't show it. Before manually starting the panel from terminal I checked for existing processes of gnome-panel. There weren't any... :shock:
Anyway, I solved the problem by manually adding gnome-panel to startup applications. This is IMHO rather dirty method of fixing the issue but it works for the time being. I am interested if anyone had similar issues or does someone know where is the setting which starts gnome-panel on system login.
