More trouble. You'd be better off passing --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.18 to all the packages. It will be ignored for packages that don't need it. I think I know what the problem is now. gnome-settings-daemon is started as a dbus service in gnome-2.18. But, if you didn't install gnome to /usr, it doesn't know about that service dir. You probably have $GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.service, right? See the dbus config section about how to add new servicedirs. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/dbus.html#dbus-config The next time you start gnome (shouldn't have to restart the system dbus, but it can't hurt), things should work a lot better now. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
