I am seeing the same problem.
I am having the same problem. The steps to reproduce above do not show selecting "Save current setup" on logout dialog box. But even when this is done, the color comes back as black. I submitted this as a service ticket to Red Hat Installation Support (#233703) and they were unable to reproduce the problem on the lab machine. So maybe this is a hardware related problem. I am using an nVidia GeForce2 MX with 32 MB of video ram on an eVga.com video card. Steve Eitelman eitelman
Oops sorry Steven - I did not see the Additional Info - save session above. My mistake!
The bug is fixed upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107401 This isn't an installation or hardware issue, just a software bug. Should be sure we have the fix in the next release.
Will RedHat put out a up2date on this? If not, how do I get the fix and install it?
An update for this is very unlikely, as there are many higher-priority items in the queue in front of it. To get a fix you would have to get the SRPM and integrate the patch yourself, or build all of GNOME from source in a separate prefix.
We've built latest gnome-panel in rawhide now.
