Gnome 2.30 icons (was: Has Iceweasel adopted Chrome's icons?)

2010-05-06 Thread Tixy
changed the icons theme. Unfortunately, some apps still use the new ones; I'm guessing this may be due to gnome icon symlinks named gtk-*. Once Gnome 2.30 is fully in Squeeze, I'm hoping to find some time to discover what hacks are required to get legible icons again. -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE

Is it possible to login as root with GDM3?

2010-05-20 Thread Tixy
I've just replaced gdm with gdm3 and find that it doesn't seem to be possible to login as root any more. Does anyone know if this can be enabled? The old login screen settings included lots of options including 'allow administrator login'. The new version has very few options. -- Tixy

Re: CPU default frequency is at 75%
