I've compiled and installed gnome2 from cooker source on my 8.2ppc (I had to unsinstall gnome-core-1.4 to avoid conflicts). It seems to run almost well and fast, even on my 180 Mhz ppc.
I noticed several bugs in nautilus I didn't see on nautilus.bugzilla. I wanted to check them on mandrake bugzilla but I can't access it (galeon and konqueror freeze when I try to enter the query page, weird!). I've got no account on the general cooker list. So I send this report here first. 1 - after a "nautilus -q", all my icons positions are lost. 2 - My nautilus-1 scripts weren't taken into account and didn't appear in the menu. 3 - The "open scripts directory" entry in the file menu, when activated for the first time, creates a ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts directory. Once this is done, nautilus becomes very slow (to open windows, to change directories, to move to trash, to pop up menus, etc., but not the text, eog and gtkhtml views). In fact, more than nautilus-1. Deleting this directory and restarting nautilus solves the problem. 4 - I tested nautilus in several user accounts. I created a special new user account (named "gnome2") to test it in a clean environnement. In this user account, nautilus runs very fast. But in my other accounts, where I used to run gnome1 before (let's call them "gnome1 accounts"), nautilus is very slow. I didn't find any solution and it is the most annoying bug. The most weird thing is the following : when running a terminal in the gnome2 user account, if I make a su to one of this "gnome1 user" and launch nautilus2 (being then a "gnome1 user"), it opens and runs fast !!!
