Thanks for replying. Somehow I had failed to reinstall yelp-viewer-
firefox, so that was my problem with the Gnome help system.
Everything seems to be working under gnome-session except the logout
button. Under gnome-panel with Metacity running, I still do not have
the Window spaces and either the Window list or Window button applets
working. When running gnome-panel, these applets always come up with
the message:
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_WindowMenuApplet". (etc.)
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
If I delete the applet in question, and try to reinstall these panel
applets, I get the same message. I hope someone can find this problem
and fix it. Also, I notice under gnome-panel that whatever theme I
have chosen, neither it nor the desktop icon in the panel show up
correctly unless I choose to open Appearances. The theme is not the
usual color, and the desktop icon is a blank folder on the panel. Any
ideas why this happens? I see that we have an update for Metacity
today, perhaps this will clear up this problem. Anyway, I wish to
thank all the fink gnome-development team for all their hard work. It
must have been quite a job to get this running as well as it is on the
mac.

However, I notice now that I can not get any help or other Gnome

any kind on the pop-up menus in the Gnome Menu app. When I try to
launch a help file I get the following message:
There was an error displaying help: There was an error launching the
default action command associated with this location.
Does anyone have any idea what has been broken with help? I could
just rebuild Gnome if I have to. It mostly worked except for the
Window applets and the keymap originally. I like to avoid
rebuilding
the whole thing if I can, because I believe most of the installation
is probably fine.
Do you have the latest 'yelp' (and the 'yelp-viewer-firefox' backend)
installed? Yelp is teh gnome help system, but isn't part of the
default gnome install because it's got a scary dependency tree and
(at
least historically) licensing and/or cryptography restrictions.
