Thanks Fred. So i followed your advice --- i started fresh, and installed sufficient packages to build GNUstep, but did no package actually from GNUstep. I built GNUstep and GWorkspace 0.8.8. GWorkspace sort of works, but not completely. If i type gopen -a gworkspace on the command line, it comes up. I put it in the dock (by dragging), but i cannot launch it from the dock. If i quit it, then double clicking on the dock icon has no effect. If i start it again from the command line the dock icon looses the three dots, but two new icons are put in the dock. One looks like the gworkspace icon, and one looks like a recycling icon. But the icons do not seem to have the gray background or border that the gworkspace icon has. Also, if i right click on the gworkspace icon, window maker does not get control it looks like (instead of getting a little 6-item menu including "Settings" i get the entire GWorkspace menu). I'm not sure if the icon right-clicking is the correct behavior or not, but not being able to successfully double click the GWorkspace icon sounds like something is not exactly right. One thing that GWorkspace did do correctly was to create the ~/GNUstep directory and Library and Defaults subdirectories. Thanks in advance to anybody for help on how to fix up the double-clicking issue. dan _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
