ArchLinux 0.7 (ftp install to current)
Gnome 2.10 (with pacman -S gnome)
Kernel is 2.6.11.3-ARCH
Xorg 6.8.2 (doesn't seem to make any difference whether I use Composite or not)
Nvidia 7176 (from nvidia homepage)
some additional packages like gftp, xine, totem, mplaye, mozilla firebird/thunderbird
and that is all
My computer is a Dell Inspiron 8500 (laptop) with a geforce4200go
I use swedish locale/keymaps and there are nothing strange in the rc.conf (as far as a know)
]]>I have in my .xinitrc = exec gnome-session
and yes, I have restarted gnome (several times since)
]]>]]>
however it does not, it only does transparent as before (not the applets..)
any idea why ?
