Perhaps there is some confusion between Gnome and GTK+. GTK+ apps run fine on any window manager (provided you have installed GTK+), but the Gnome libraries add some more powerful widgets that are not present in standard GTK+. The vast majority of GTK+ applications just need GTK+ libraries, but it is feasible that there will be some that need the extra widgets that Gnome provides; I guess Galeon is one of these. You probably should be able to just install the Gnome libraries to allow you to run Galeon, without taking up too much disk space nor touching your existing desktop environment. Hope this helps, Steven. -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.murdomedia.net/ PGP/GnuPG keys: http://www.murdomedia.net/keys.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
