Erm, just a small info on the transition issue, i couldn't say much about the gnome1 -> gnome2 transition, because i wipped away my old setup times ago to manually redo the gnome2 setup. That said, when i logged on my work box, which still has a old .gnome directory lying around, and a .gnome2 which contains my current (gnome2) setup, i was asked about doing the transition thingy. So, first problem : If there is a .gnome2 directory, you could ask if the user want to remove/rename/whatever the .gnome directoy, and move the .gnome2 directory over it. That said, i guess anyone having a .gnome2 directory, and thus having installed the experimental packages or something such, is maybe big enough to remove the .gnome directory and rename /gnome2 to .gnome by hand, so maybe we should not worry, i don't know. So i did respond no, not wanting my old gnome1 setup to replace my new gnome2 setup, and think procedeed, coming to my second problem : When gnome booted (with still the 30s delay about the window manager) it was with twm (i have both twm and metacity installed only). It was previously configured to use metacity. I don't know what went wrong here, but this is not the first time this happened. Friendly, Sven Luther
