This was suggested:mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_old

By the way I found it using search and your topic, "menu bars are gone" :)

thats strange, alt-f2 should input a command prompt, well, do you have a way to open a terminal? can you open a file manager?

if you have access to a terminal, just type
gnome-panel

Since you can get to a terminal try adding a new user and see if they get built correctly. If so then check the hidden files with you yours.

you can even make a desktop icon for gnome terminal, so you can always open a terminal from the desktop
