 Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2004 2:27 pm Post subject: Gnome weirdness |
 |
|
Two problems that hopefully someone can point out a quick fix for:
I have a main panel at the bottom of my screen it contains a drawer with some stuff in it. When I click to open the drawer I can not see anything. If I movet he panel to the top of the screen it will open downward and I can access its contents so I know there is stuff in it. Put it back down at the bottom and nothing happens when clicking on it. Any ideas?
Also how can I edit a main menu. According to a Gnome FAQ I found there should be a "Settings" submenu and it should contain an access to the Menu Configuration tool that Gnome provides. I do not see this in Gentoo's version of Gnome. In the screen shot I saw the Settings submenu should be just right along with "System Tools" under "Applications" of the main menu.
Any ideas appreciated. |

to edit the gnome main menu (the one with all the applications) you can go to
in nautilus.

Ah thanks for clearing that up, | Quote: | | pen nautilus and write on the address bar: |
I have no address bar, must have turned it off somewhere, but I actually just found the Start-Here guy sittin in the trashcan. Assume I gotta restart Gnome for changes to take effect which I can't do for a while but thanks. That looks like it will solve one of my problems. |

| No you do not need to kill Gnome; you just need to kill the panel. So just open up xterm (or whatever you use) and type: "killall -9 gnome-panel". After being killed, the panel will automatically restart using the new menu entries. |

Ahaha, these darn fancy graphical environments.
Any idea on why the drawer opens upside down? I am running a dual head display using Nvidia's twinview. Don't know if that could cause any wonkiness or not. I bet it could since when I put it at the top of th screen of the left monitor the drawer opens at the top of the sceen on the the right monitor. |

i really have no experience in what comes to twinview (except for disabling it  ), but it works correctly over here. can you try disabling it to see if it works?
