Good job JGC,
With the improved stability of PulseAudio 0.9.15 I think It would be wise to enable PulseAudio in gnome-applets & gnome-setting-daemon .

Installing gnome-power-manager and gnome-screensaver from svn resolves all my problems with timings being ignored.

Re: Gnome 2.26 Discussion

I've got the same problems as blacklake: no background, icons, panels, window-borders, I see nothing. When I start the corresponsing applications, it all "works" again, but there still are some problems:

- my menu-icons have disappeared
- I can't set my background-image; background-color works fine though
- metacity doesn't show me all the window-action-buttons in the titlebar, I can minimalize, but not close
- (error on gnome-power-manager, but that's allready covered)

I tried reinstalling the gnome-group, but that wouldn't work. I tried downgrading as well, but that didn't work so good.
Hopefully it will be fixed next release

I already solved the problem. Read the last post here:

Re: Gnome 2.26 Discussion

gnome-power-manager 2.26 doesn't use hal anymore, but devicekit + devicekit-power.

i managed to make it work compiling gnome-power-manager with --enable-legacy-buttons but i'm not sure what is the right fix for that. maybe is an upstream bug or a lack a functionality in devicekit and devicekit-power

Compiling with --enable-legacy-buttons does not work for me.. My UPS is still not being detected Any other pointers?

Re: Gnome 2.26 Discussion

Really thanks for solution to my problem.
But now I'm wondering: where has my gnome splash screen gone? The session manager says it runs gnome-session-splash, but that file doesn't exist in my path. Normally gnome-session should provide this file (I think), but after reinstalling gnome-session, I still don't get my executable.

Where has it gone?

--enable-legacy-buttons works for me to get suspend/hibernate on lid closing. Thanks.

This is upstream issue, so just stay with 2.24 until it will be fixed. Upcoming Jaunty will be shipped with g-p-m 2.24  too (judging by daily snapshot) although other components is 2.26.
