Sorry for any confusion - our fileserver serves out users' home 
directories and a /usr/local partition via NFS.

I switched our main fileserver to a new Dell Poweredge R300 running SL 
4.8 (the old server ran 4.3) and all users are now seeing this problem.

The desktop machines were already on SL4.8 so it seems something has 
happened since the switch, but I can't work out what....

I've tried removing .gnome, gnome2, .gconf etc. in the users' home area 
so GNOME recreates them from scratch, but the text overlapping issue is 
still there.

Thanks,

Mark
