I did a fresh net-install of Debian 7.1, and am having some troubles with the desktop interface.
The area between my app icons and the logout/shutdown icon is a black strip. If I hover the mouse in the area, I can see information about battery levels, pidgin, network,and sound volume etc, but it is annoying to have to guess where they are. (for example, if I load pidgin, the place where the sound volume control is moves to the right, so if I click quickly to lower the sound, the pidgin interface will pop up.
I am using fallback mode, as Gnome 3 is incompatible with my notebook (as it is with my other 2 PCs).
Appreciate any pointers
