It might be that I am missing something essential (I vaguely remember that many years ago yelp needed gvfs, which I had dropped at that time). I think I've built gvfs : [ did you hear the swearing ? ] - I managed to omit a few things from my build, now I see that gvfs was also omitted. <sigh/> Will build and retest. I've had a bit of fun getting brasero to burn a CD (possibly because I gave it some 48/24 files ;-) but in the end managed to burn 44/16. Will tag after I've built gvfs and retested yelp. > ======== > network-manager-applet: comes up but doesn't do anything.
