Did you also copy the dot files/folders ( .gconf .gconfd .gftp .gimp-2.2 .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gstreamer-0.10 ... etc. ) ? I am not sure, but I have faced problems with such stale configuration files, when carrying over with a new installation. In you case .gstreamer-x.y *may* be the culprit. I hope it helps, if not then just ignore this message :-) -- o1p2e3n4g5l6 http://saleem.a.ansari.googlepages.com/ http://www.jmilug.org/ http://www.csijmi.com/ Linux User #414799 (http://counter.li.org/) _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
