I have just installed the cinnamon desktop to try it out and it pulled in gnome-settings-daemon and, guess what, the bug is still there. It still crashes. I remember this bug: it crashes when trying to load a plugin. I saw it two or three years ago, but never really resolved it. G-s-d came right about the time we got some optimisation bugs fixed in the C-compiler so I had thought it was probably due to the bad gcc-4.4 compiler. Hmmm, maybe I thought wrong... I have just checked the bug reports list for g-s-d and I am quite astonished by the large number of crash/segfault bug reports against it. I have no plans to investigate the g-s-d crash any further. It is up to someone else if they want Gnome to run on Alpha. Cheers Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
