For those one, open the apps folder in nautilus and drag the apps' icons on the top or bottom panel as you want. Once, this is done, you can click on the icon on the panel to open the application. If you want to give them some peculiar options, right click the icon, and choose properties in the contextual menu, you then may change the command to add convenient options.So, Fink's up and running, and the gnome desktop is taking shape. Now I want to add other apps to that desktop, and my question is this. I have a list of 'gnome apps' already appearing in the apps folder.
I'd like to odd xmms, mozilla, and a few others to this, that AREN't namedMozilla has already its icon in the apps folder, or you don't have the latest version on 10.4 unstable, or there is a newer version where this small change has been dropped and should be once again be made (which I doubt, but who knows). It may be that if you are on other tree/branch, the change has not been propagated. If it has not the icon, look for the default.xpm file in /sw/lib/mozilla/chrome/ icons/default, make a copy of it on your Desktop, rename it mozilla.xpm and put it in /sw/share/pixmaps.as gnome apps.
Right click on the top or bottom panel, choose launcher... in the contextual menu. In the name field, put the name of the application, in the command field put also the name of the application, click on the icon field, search for the icon in the pixmaps folder which will be presented to you. If the icon is not there or not accessible, you have to search for it, sometimes it is (like mozilla) in sw/lib/nameoftheapplication/... but very rarely, most of the time, it is in /sw/share/pixmaps but not under a format that is expected, then you have to change it to png format with gimp, preview or graphicconverter, put it for example in ~/Pictures and get it from here. To do so, you cannot use the click on the icon field because it only searches for icons in /sw/share/ pixmaps, but you can drag and drop any icon from any folder on the icon field, that may mean that you have to open the folder in nautilus and drag the icon from there.I'm currently opening these from gnome terminal, and they don't hang around once closed. Can I do this, and if so, how so?
No, there is not, but there is a mail from mail hanging somewhere in fink beginners or fink users mailing list, dated February or around that, which explains the process.I haven't seen any documentation on the website that explains this.
As a complete new fellow to fink and linux, is Gnome the best environment to be doing this? I'm a writer and composer, and would like a fairly solid audio presence in whichever desktop is used. So far, xmms won't play inside of gnome, no matter the audio configuration I try. I've installed all the gnome audio codecs, etc, and no luck. Will xmms, or another audio playerYou may try kde. I've tried xmms, it works but not very reliably. And I did not find a way to get the gnome-recorder work, so that for a composer, it does not seem to me that gnome at the moment as it is in fink is the best environment for you. I cannot say for kde, since I have not used it recently, you may ask the kde maintainer, who would know better.work better in another desktop system?
There are also Mac OS X applications that you may find useful, such as audacity, etc... You may find some useful tips here: <http://www.macmusic.org/home/? lang=EN> t
