user problems

[optech]

i have created a separate user account from root (as is probably best to do) and spent ALL day setting up GNOME to my liking. i set up icons, the panel, colours, background, programs, everything! i logged out for a bit, then went to log back in...
this time however, a program called "Panel" was opened in the tray. there were 3of them and when i right clicked to close it, another one just popped up... i can't use ANY other programs while these are there.. help!

------------------
my love for you is ticking clock, berzeeerrrrrrker...
would you like to suck my **** berzeeeerrrrrrker.....

Did you try exiting X and seeing what happened? Or try from a terminal 'killall <program name>'

If you click once on an link on the desktop does it seem to highlight one of the panels below? It happend to me after setting up sawfish on Mandrake with Helixcode. I just emptied the desktop and they went away. (Alright that is not a real solution but it is late and will finish it another time :- ))
The other thing too is the Xsession in the /etc/X11/ what is in there? move it to a new
name and make your own....
ie the command mv /etc/X11/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession.B
Then make with pico or vi or...
#!/bin/sh
xterm &
windowmanger here &
panel
exit 0
##
This simple file saved as /etc/X11/Xsession should make you Window Manager appear unless there is a file in your home folder?
Also put the full path to the Window manager.
Hope this helps you go in the right direction.
