Fink's gnome environment is a mixture of 2.6, 2.10, and 2.12. Many many things changed during this huge version jump, and several things are not working properly yet:( The Applications menu is broken because gnome and kde each try to install different forms of the same file to define it. KDE got there first, so gnome can't install the file gnome needs. The cleanest solution we've heard is to have KDE move its file somewhere else so that gnome can install its own, but this hasn't happened yet. Unfortunately, nobody here understands gnome well enough to do the inverse solution (move gnome's file). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
