I also have gnomemeeting [which gives me gconf errors]
]]>awesome.. that worked like a charm.. why is the pacman installer so fudged up ?? and not fixed ??
It never fails to amaze me that people tend to jump immediately to the conclusion that if something doesn't work as expected for them, it's broken and someone else has neglected to fix it.
The truth is, in most cases, the problem is somewhere on the user's local system that is "fudged up" and not the fault of someone else who has "not fixed" it.
A wise man once noted that '97% of all computer errors occur between the chair and the keyboard.'

Well, is it? I've used that script for a while, now, because I wanted clicked links to open new tabs rather than a new Firefox window, hence I have no idea ...
If it IS broken, please file a bug report on flyspray.

Everythings faster and better as well as cleaner for me.. cept i cant get firefox to work.. :-/ is this a common problem ? i install it via pacman.. but i cant launch it.. :-/
I use the pacman version, too, albeit with a different startup script:
cat /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox
#!/bin/bash
# Firefox executable
FIREFOX="/opt/mozilla/bin/firefox"
# Check if Firefox is running. (Ugly hack, remote options doesn't work)
FFNUM=`ps -A | grep -c firefox-bin`;
if [ -z $1 ]; then
# No url: open new window with home page.
URL="";
else
# Load the url given on the command line.
URL=$1;
fi
if [ $FFNUM -eq 0 ]; then
# No running Firefox instance: fire up a new copy of the browser.
$FIREFOX $URL &
else
# Open the url from the command line argument in a new tab in an
# already running Firefox instance.
$FIREFOX -a firefox -remote "openURL($URL,new-tab)" &
# To open a new window instead of a new tab, use:
#$FIREFOX -a firefox -remote "openURL($URL,new-window)" &
fi
GNOME 2.10 seems faster to me than 2.8. It boots marginally quicker, and Nautilus starts quite a lot faster than in the old version. My personal highlights:
Nautilus is faster because of "operation bonobo-slay", the task they have been doing to get rid of the complex deprecated bonobo framework (other apps will follow, just give them time )
- Trashcan as an applet--finally, I can place trash in the lower-right corner, and it's always accessable.
- PDF thumbnailing--I don't know whether that's been possible before; at any rate, I like it.
Evince is responsible for this, since 0.1.7, they have a PDF thumbnailer for nautilus. Evince is still beta/buggy software, but it's already faster and more stable than gpdf and ggv have ever been for me.
- Evolution is lots and lots faster, in IMAP mode, than the last version.
"Places" is handy, but I don't see why "Preferences" are to be found in the "Desktop" menu. As I never use the applications menu, I'm not bothered by the inability to edit it ...

Evolution put many things from the evolution frontend into the data server, which is running permanent with your gnome-panel whenever you have the clock loaded. Does it surprise me that evo 2.2 is faster than 2.0 then? nope, sounds like MS internet explorer that starts fast because 99% of all components are already loaded

Shutdown has disappeared for me too. Cannot even shutdown the system from GDM.
The buttons in evolution are not shown by standard but in the view menu you can make the show up.
The problem is fixed in 2.6.0.8-2 it was a upstream bug in gdm.
]]>However there are a few things you can do... such as to keep the KDE menu's from loading such as myself, I use Gnome 100% of the time and need only a handfull of KDE apps.. so here is what I did..
inside of /etc/profile.d I removed the executable flag from the kde.sh and kde.csh files. This will prevent them from loading and wont update the environment variables for xdg. So it will only grab the gnome apps.
I also created a custom ~/.config/applications.menu file using the syntax stated here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-s … 01s08.html
The format of can be found here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-s … 01s04.html
This way I can have my own specific menus and the rest of the users wont have to see my custom Gnome menu.
edit: the kdemenuedit didn't work for me. go figure.
]]>Everything works as the norm, however, where the hell is the menu editing thingy!? LOL
in nautilus I can't open applications:///
any ideas?
GNOME 2.10 uses the new freedesktop menu standards. There's no viable way to edit one's application menu just yet; the team is working on a menu editor. Until then, you'll have to either use the KDE menu editor or hack files by hand.
