Hello together, following problems drives me crazy: After login at gdm, gnome starts to boot. The small gnome-gentoo window pups up and everything seems to work fine. The background is loaded too. But i don't get a gnome-pannel or symbols. Everythink i see is the background and the mouse (which is working). A "ps -e" tells me that gnome-pannel etc. are loaded! I tried the following things to fix this: 1. removing .gconf* and .gnome* folders of the user i login to + reboot. No Change. 2. emerge --sync and a emerge --update --deep world + reboot. No Change 3. Remerging gnome + Reboot. No Change Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the machine 2. Login to GDM Actual Results: The monitor shows the actual Gnome background-image i choosed and the mouse (which i can move). Thats all. No gnome-pannel, no desktop symbols. Expected Results: Gnome should start and show me the desktop symbols and the gnome pannel etc. Last thing i changed to my system (as far as i remember) were the following commands: emerge --sync emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/cups-1.3.10"

I will try to swap to 2.6.29 kernel now, which was installed after update and recompile NVIDIA how the log says. But this still does not explain this behaviour.
I have to add the information - that it worked like a charme last month. After installing new version of cups (last thing i remember i did) it stopped working.
I changed to the newest kernel and recompiled the nvidia driver. Still no change? Is there any log i can look into?
what's you nvidia driver version ? recent nvidia drivers caused weird behavior in the recent past.

I solved forcing this more /etc/env.d/99xdg-gdm XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share/gdm"

closing invalid per comment #9 since it should already be set to that value.
