[SunRay-Users] Display problem on Scientific Linux 4?

[David McNicol]

Hi,

I have been testing SRSS 4.0 on Scientific Linux 4.5 / 4.6 over the 
summer, in preparation for a rollout to a sunray training lab. The 
installation seemed to work at the start but, about a month ago, I 
started to see a strange display bug on the Gnome desktop:

It looks as if the desktop is slightly too big for the resolution of the 
monitor. The Gnome menu is missing from the top of the screen, and some 
of the bottom panel is missing as well.

I have tried changing the resolution settings using utxconfig and 
utresadm but it does not seem to be a resolution problem. I wonder 
whether it might be a problem with the Gnome panel? I guess that a Gnome 
component - the panel or something else - in the SL distribution might 
have been updated and added to the main SL repository. I have tried 
disabling yum updates, and I have tried using Scientific Linux 4.5 
instead of 4.6 and saw the same problem.

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this and how I might 
fix it?

Thanks,
David
