some GNOME problems with XBK and pango

Hi

after a long time of using KDE i want so switch to GNOME.
I installed gnome and gnome-extras. Everything without errors. I have a xfree server.

When I start GNOME in got a mennage the something is wrong with XKB

I have only the german message:

Fehler beim Aktivieren der XKB-Konfiguration.
Dies kann verschiedene Gründe haben:
- ein Fehler in der libxklavier-Bibliothek
- ein Fehler im X-Server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- ein X-Server mit nicht kompatibler libxkbfile-Implementation

Versionsdaten des X-Servers:
The XFree86 Project, Inc
40400000

Falls Sie einen Fehlerbericht zu diesem Problem einschicken, sollte dieser umfassen:
- Das Ergebnis von <b>xprop -root | grep XKB</b>
- Das Ergebnis von <b>gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd</b>

XKB worked fine in KDE

a litle bit later I got an second error:

Das Bild gnome-screenshot.png konnte nicht geladen werden

Details: Symbol nicht gefunden

Starting gnome-background-propertys as user causes :

[chris@traumschiff ~]$ gnome-background-properties

(gnome-background-properties:5770): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_color_parse: assertion `spec != NULL' failed

[chris@traumschiff ~]$

it works as root!

what have I to do to get my GNOME running. Its so much faster then KDE!

thank you

Re: some GNOME problems with XBK and pango

Hi

I fixed the first error with the XKB. I installed xorg and it works.

But the second error with pango still exists!
