Hi Darren,
FC2
(upgrade from RH 8.0)
I'm not the only guy suffering this problem. One folk
had the same problem after upgrade and another on a
clean installation.

The Gnome desktop including icons look identical to
KDE with K-Start(Redhat) on bottom menu-bar.
Gnome-Start(the big-foot) disppears including
gnome-applications, such as gedit, nautilus, etc.
They have to be started on terminal. I tried to add
them to the panel/menu but could not find them on
'add-to-Panel'.
I have been playing around for a week without a
solution.

One of the folks suffering from same problem told me
that he made a force-upgrade/installation to solve his
problem. But he could not guarantee I can make it. I
just take my last retort.
