--gBBFr7Ir9EOA20Yy Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Here's a few things that have been causing me minor irritation since uprading to gnome2 a few days back. I probably should have started different subjects for each, but I don't consider any of them to be a big enough deal to warrant it. o Clock Applet Refusing to appear in the panel for my user. The process IS running, it's simply invisible. Files for it are created under .gconf, etc. To make this issue weirder, a different user on the system is having no problems with it whatsoever. Thinking I had a corrupt settings .xml, I removed it - no help. For the sake of experimentation, I moved .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf, and .gconfd elsewhere, and fired up gnome with default settings. Exact same problem when adding the clock - it simply doesn't appear for me. File permissions appear to be fine. I'm stumped as to why I'm the only one that is affected. o Inbox Monitor Applet Refuses to save preferences for the 'mail spool file' variable - affects all users on system. Users mail spool is Maildir within the homedir - setting it manually works as expected. On logout/login, it reverts to /var/mail/... All other preferences (icon, checking frequency, type of spool) work perfectly across logins. o WindowMaker 0.80.1 isn't playing nice with gnome2. Gnome hooks are compiled into wmaker, and it's seamless with gnome 1.4. Under 2 specifically, Workspace Switcher applet doesn't appear to 'see' wmaker workspaces, and the panel can't decide if it's omnipresent or not when switching between workspaces. o Nautilus desktop mount points Ok, I'm sneaking a userland question in here. :) I keep seeing screenshots of gnome2 without the 'Root Volume', 'var', etc mounts. Is there a compile time option or a pref I am not seeing? Or are they simply deleting the Nautilus desktop files before taking the shot, only to have them recreated the next time Nautilus starts up? I'd love to get these minor things resolved - any one else experiencing any of them? Honestly, I'm not sure if they are even FreeBSD specific, but the fact that I don't see any of them in mailing list archives (both FreeBSD and Gnome) make me have to assume that I am simply missing the boat on preferences somewhere. Thanks for any info or RTFMs I missed. -Mahlon Mahlon E.
