Hi folks
I clicked on the gnome-applet in the top right corner(FastUserSwitchApplet(?)) and clicked on 'suspend' instead of 'lock screen'.I thought I had clicked outside and clicked on 'lock screen'; the screen went blank,and i saw the password prompt to unlock screen,but before i could do anything, the system powered down.So I pressed the power button, and after some time I was asked for the password to unlock screen.When i entered the password the system froze.Then, I reset the system,but after logging in got the following message:
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
i tried rebooting and reinstalling gnome-panel,gnome-panel-data; with no effect.
I even tried restoring the panels to the default configuration but i get the same error message.
Please help me to get the applet back.
thanks,
