Not sure if there is one true method of identifying the version of gnome. Some things to try: - /usr/share/gnome-about/gnome-version.xml is probably the best option, but wasn't intended for humans - run "gnome-terminal --version" - running "gnome-session --version" may be more accurate but freezes your desktop for a second or two - "pkg-config --modversion libgnome-2.0" gives you the version of libgnome The version numbers you're getting with these commands may be all different, though (; > On a related subject, what are the timescales for > basing GNOME on GNOME 2.10 or 2.12 (for those of us who don't want > to compile form scratch)? I agree it would be nice to put some binary packages out there. Productising a new version of GNOME and getting it into Solaris is a lot of work. We don't want to do it very often (; Our GNOME 2.12 sources should be on opensolaris.org by the end of this week. We will then move on to GNOME 2.13.x (unstable, development) which will become GNOME 2.14 (stable) in mid-March. 2.14 is likely to be our next the version of GNOME in Nevada.
