[PLUG] It just happened again

[Robert Miesen]

Have you checked to see if you still have gnome installed? When you
uninstalled Rythmbox and Virtualbox from your system, your RPM package
manager might have removed gnome with those packages...especially if it was
an automatically-installed package (or whatever the RPM equivalent is). If
you still have gnome installed as stated by your package manager, it might
be a good idea to reinstall it, as some shared files might have been
clobbered when either removing Rythmbox and Virtualbox or when installing
Virtualbox OSE.
