As the title says. Default panel isn't the gnome default. All I get is a top panel twice the height it used to be. It works just fine however.

I did a fresh install with gnome 2.8 from testing.
This task depends upon

try removing/moving .gnome .gconf etc..
if that works this isn't a bug.

I did a fresh install (after format), so no files were left over

Try to run this command as root from /:

opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --direct --config-source `opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` --load opt/gnome/etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries

Place it on one line and run it. Then start gnome and see how it added the default setup entries.

I think this is a bug in the postinstall of gnome-panel: when installing from scratch, gnome-common's /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh is not sourced yet by the user running pacman. I don't know if it's possible to source it in the postinstall of gnome-common, or if this file has to be sourced in every package that's using /opt/gnome/ prefix.

added:
opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --direct --config-source opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` --load opt/gnome/etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries
to the gnome-panel.install should be fine now
Jan sorry i never looked at your gnome-panel.install file.
