My Linux Mint installation seemed to work fine an hour ago, then I switched into Windows 7 which is installed on the same machine. When I restarted back into Mint, I got the following errors and can't continue:

Could not update ICEauthority file, problem with the configuration server.

/usr/lib/mateconfig/mateconfig-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256.

The panel encountered a problem loading OAFIDD:Mate_mintMenu (do you want to delete the file?)

And something about caja settings as well.

After I click OK on all those, and say no to deleting the file I can see the desktop, with no icons and the applications menu is not working. How do I fix this?

update: I reinstalled linux mint, everything was fine, I applied updates and restarded my computer, then the same errors as in OP showed up again. I really don't know what to say. – user11177 Sep 23 '12 at 4:50
