Perhaps we should create an include > or ENTITY top add to the pages that need it. I have the same observations as Armin. I think he had put an introduction in Gnome telling that the packages should be built in the order they appear in the book. I believe this is still true with "Libraries" and "Libraries" (notice the _required_ in the title). Thus, perhaps a new introduction would solve these problems? Thus the menu problems are solved (I had the same and solved with that procedure in my last build). Also, I think that the gnome-backgrounds should be moved back to the book.

Thanks. If you install LXAppearance, (which depends basically on GTK+-2.24.23 (required) and dbus-glib-0.102 (recommended), and you probably have these, at this gnome point, you can palay with many combinations of themes, icons, fonts, etc... -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
