There have been no problems (apart from the configure argument issue with gnome-control-center which was easily fixed with this patch). In situations like mine where it's not possible or desirable to use any sound or "multimedia" stuff anyway, is there any other reason to include gstreamer and its many dependencies? As far as I can tell, GNOME functions perfectly without them. --=20 Dylan Leigh - http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~dleigh/ --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (SunOS) iD8DBQFHlZk+Vv5nmwk0meERArn/AJ0eZENeQt4Zb+h+1SZ+WVpWJoo4CACeLYtQ MS89rtX7u7ymPwkB9Uh5Jh4= =D85K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X--
