Everything works when you remove sleep. (g) I actually just had to rename /usr/bin/metacity and /usr/bin/sawfish to get it working on another machine - strange - but true... ...just really sucks that even with Gnome2.2 you still can't just out and out change the WM... But then again, I've drifted so far away from Gnome that it's going to take a bloody miracle for me to use it as my choice WM again...sadly, the lack of customisation and lack of "ease" of menu editing has literally caused that project to go backward in very large steps...but I won't ramble on about that...(at least here) -- Sun, 16 Feb 2003 07:40:00 +1100 7:40am up 14:30, 4 users, load average: 1.29, 0.42, 0.66 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ A comment on schedules: Ok, how long will it take? For each manager involved in initial meetings add one month. For each manager who says "data flow analysis" add another month. For each unique end-user type add one month. For each unknown software package to be employed add two months. For each unknown hardware device add two months. For each 100 miles between developer and installation add one month. For each type of communication channel add one month. If an IBM mainframe shop is involved and you are working on a non-IBM system add 6 months. If an IBM mainframe shop is involved and you are working on an IBM system add 9 months. Round up to the nearest half-year. --Brad Sherman By the way, ALL software projects are done by iterative prototyping. Some companies call their prototypes "releases", that's all.
