[OpenIndiana-discuss] Can anyone suggest a next step?? Re: Window manager problems after upgrade to oi_151a9

[Hans J. Albertsson]

I tried a brand new user, and the problem remains:

except I can see there's an initial bit where a couple of things work: I 
could define a new background wallpaper and, select using gnome rather 
than xterm, and I could start a terminal.

However, no bottom or top panels  showed, and after a few minutes (or a 
certain number of mouse events???) it became the same as for my original 
user. I e nothing stays: I click on the background, and a menu flashes 
by but disappears as soon as the mouse pointer enters the menu object.

I had done the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders as suggested by Dr. Grabowski, 
this time with no problem.

I'm thinking creating a new clone of my a7, and start upgrading again, 
this time with fewer drastic changes.
