Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. b) stderr spits out: Configuration server couldn't be contacted: CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_OPERATION:1.0 the solution, then is to simply killall gconfd-1. however, how can gconfd-1 be prevented from starting in the first place? every time i load up galeon, for example, won't gconfd-1 start? if i start gconfd-2 first, will that prevent gconfd-1 from loading? will this cause the gnome1 programs to fail in a similar fashion at some point? also: i know i'm not the only person who has come across this hurdle. perhaps an entry into the gnome2 FAQ would be useful? i'd be happy to submit a patch for this purpose, but i wanted to check before i bounced into a project i haven't been involved with before. and also, FWIW, under question 7 of the gnome2 faq, "where can i get more themes for gnome 2.0," Sunshine in a Bag no longer exists. thanks for taking the time to consider my questions. this is not one of the lists to which i subscribe, so please cc: me on your replies. take care. -Adam -- "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw." -Lilo, "Lilo & Stitch" Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx http://vectors.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
