Hello,
As a former NeXTstep 3.3 user on black hardware, I am attempting to
create a similar user (and developer) environment in Linux (currently
using YDL 4.1 on a Powerbook G4). I have installed the latest GNUstep
(from source), GWorkspace, the Backbone apps and GNUmail. All of
these more or less work, but there are a large number of minor
annoyances and I was wondering whether anyone can shed some light on
fixing them? Thanks in advance. In no particular order:
1. I can't get a white background (black foreground) in Terminal.
Using the setterm command, the best I can do is get a grey background.
2. I can't get GWorkspace to recognize TextEdit as its text editor.
It complains that Textedit.app is not a valid editor. Also, trying
Codeeditor, (which it did accept), double clicking on a text file
launches the editor but doesn't open the file.
3. Using windowmaker .92 there seems to be a conflict with the
desktop in GWorkspace. Is there any advice on how to get these two
environments to play well together?
4. Is there a general way to set the double-clicking behavior in
GWorkspace (as in OSX)? In particular I would like a particular app
to be selected for a certain type of file.
5. Is there a way to get GNUmail to locally cache mailboxes? It seems
that the contextual menus in GNUmail dont work - right clicking on a
mailbox doesn't bring up a specific mailbox-oriented contextual menu.
There are just a few of the many minor problems I am having. Any help
would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
