I installed a new almost-everything install of severn, then upgraded to today's rawhide mirror When I finished, I added a new user, then logged into X as that user. Attached is a screenshot of the initial desktop I got. The toolbar is quite broken out of the box....
Created attachment 93695 [details] broken gnome toolbar
99% sure this is a dup of the bug Elton filed (about gnome-panel %post)
Hmm, I wonder if yum logs rpm error messages anywhere?
No errors in yum.log from %post (not sure if yum logs that much detail, though?) I still see this with gnome-panel-2.3.6.2-3 which Bug #102530 says solves the problem (of course, people don't actually seem to think gnome-panel-2.3.6.2-3 solves Bug #102530, so that may or may not meen anything)
Updating to today's rawhide fixed this once I deleted all existing config files
