    Hi
    Alt+F2 should bring up the run command box, much like Start->Run on Windows. Press ALT+F2 and in the pop up box, type gnome-terminal and hit enter.
    When the terminal opens up, type these three commands in.

    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
    killall gnome-panel
    gnome-panel &

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    I am not a specialist Mandriva, but I think you have a problem of window decorations (the problem with 3D cube interface for example?) You must use the Metacity window manager (the default in Gnome).

    Thank you for your help
    I disabled the 3D effects and is ineffective. For metacity I tried to reinstall and I installed the package gnome-python-metacity, it does nothing.

    But i solved my problem, for those who have the same problem:
    My gnome-panel package was uninstalled. installation (drakrpm type in the console) and its execution in the console to any resolution.
