[Fink-beginners] Problems with Gnome 2.4

[Kevin Walzer]

After lots of problems getting Gnome-bundle 2.4 to build from source, I 
finally managed to get it built. But now that it builds, it hardly 
runs. When I run X11 in full-screen mode, xterm's output says that 
Gnome "can't open default font config file", and yes, the font handling 
is broken--everything renders in Courier instead of Helvetica. Then I 
get various message windows that look like "failed to active 
OFAIID:Gnome_MixerApplet"" and then a prompt to delete the applet. The 
first time this happened I deleted the applet, which then causes Gnome 
to crash. Now it just freezes.

I'm bummed. I really wanted to have my machine look like the pretty 
screen shots I see on Keith Conger's blog. :-(  Am I doing something 
wrong? (Or is there a Fink-Gnome-beginner's list that I should send 
this to instead?)
