3 days ago I upgraded Gnome from 2.18.3 to 2.20.1 (as part of a 'portupgrade -a'). The actual upgrade went very well, but there are a few niggles that I thought I'd report on: 1/ Ugly fonts When logging on with users who have pre-existing (say from 2.18 or earlier) Gnome configurations - there is a noticeable change to how fonts look. I believe its due to the change from bitmap to anti-aliased fonts. Initially I worked around this by changing DPI from 99->96 in the font details section. 2/ Hang during session startup I get intermittent hangs during login - usually 'bonobo-activation-server' spinning on 99% cpu.. The I *think* this was due to 2.20 not liking something in the pre-existing Gnome config for the users concerned - as I found destroying all .gcon*, .gnom* .font* etc directories and setting up the Gnome configuration again seems to have cured it. I found after this that the fonts look ok without any modifications now... 3/ Gdm respawns at shutdown Shutting down the system from the Greeter restults in gdm respawing itself just before the system is powered off. This seems to be a known issue (e.g https://bugs.launchpad.net/suse/+source/gdm/+bug/126797) There is a workaround patch for this (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=174000) - which didn't really help for me (maybe I need it to sleep for more than 20s...) Cheers Mark
