Yes, i confirm that. 
After the update and a system restart the panels are deactivated and irreparable
configured. 
Additionally there is the power management error and a crash as soon as the
background image is changed.

Comment 3 J.Jansen 2006-11-10 22:10:38 UTC
Found the problem : somewhere in the process the package metacity was corrupted

Solution : get the metacity-2.16.0-5.fc6.i386.rpm and reinstall it with:
      rpm --force --upgrade metacity-2.16.0-5.fc6.i386.rpm

No idea what caused the corruption.

Comment 4 P.West 2006-11-10 22:54:40 UTC
I downloaded "metacity-2.16.0-5.fc6.i386.rpm" from the Core Repository and
successfully installed it with "rpm --force --upgrade
metacity-2.16.0-5.fc6.i386.rpm". A restart of the system did not bring any
success, the problem is still persistent.

Comment 5 P.West 2006-11-11 21:54:49 UTC
I solved the problem by removing the complete Gnome group with yum and the
window manager Fluxbox and Yum Gui pirut respectively. Then "yum install
gnome-panel pirut gdm", resolve dependencies, restart X and the Gnome desktop
was usable again although all programs like e.g. OpenOffice had to be reinstalled.

Hi,

We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state.  I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
 If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?
