If you have gnome-panel's built in fake transparency enabled, you won't be able to use Gnome. It won't log in to full Gnome desktop and the CPU load will be at 100%. I don't know how to fix it, but there is a possibility to work around the problem by deleting the transparency settings from all your gnome-panel instances: rm ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels/*/background/%gconf.xml Then kill your session and log in again. >How-To-Repeat: Right-click on a gnome-panel instance, properties, background and set opacity e.g. to 50%. Add at least 1 applet, e.g. clock applet. Take a look at top output. You'll see gnome-panel and Xorg at high load. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
