Gnome 2.10

I've installed gnome-light-2.10_pre0 plus a few extras (gstreamer, gedit, gnome-vfs etc) and it all seems to be working aprt from one snag. Whenever I reboot and login to gnome it takes about 2 minutes for the panel to to start working, after the splash screen has gone. I can see the panel without any icons, my wallpaper hasn't loaded but any apps I tell to autostart will start. After 2 minutes the panel comes to life and I have access to everything. If I just log out and log back in again this doesn't happen.

Any idea on how to fix this behaviour?

Well I don't have a .gnomerc-errors file, but .Xsesion-errors contains the following

I just installed Gnome 2.10 last night and now the keys on my keyboard are mapped to different characters. Like the slash and backslash are where the tilde key usually is. Is there a simple way to fix this

Hi,

I just played around a bit with trying to separate Gnome and KDE menus, and it seems as if I've found (kind of) a solution:
Put the following in you Gnome startup script:

Hi,

A while ago I mentioned a menueditor that's being developed for ubuntu using python and said I'd run up an ebuild.....well 200 years later and 2 versions and a name change later, I've finally got around to it :-)

It's still pretty dodgy sometimes due mainly to differences with how gnome-menus and pyxdg work with menus. Moving menu items around is a bit sketchy, but adding items seems to work OK. Anyway, here's a tarball to stick into your overlay...hopefully it'll work http://17boulden.dyndns.org/smeg-0.5-overlay.tar.bz2. It relies on some pretty recent packages, some of which might still be masked. It might work with older packages, but the deps are what I've tested it with. If it doesn't work, destroys your menus, calls you bad names or explodes you computer, don't blame me :roll:

.

EDIT: OK, now that I've fixed my router, you should actually be able to download the above file :oops:

.

Cheers,
James

Hi,

I emerged 2.10, but I have some problems:

- the trash-applet doesn't work correctly: when I delete all stuff in it, it's still seems to be full. after a logout&login it's correct

- the sound-applet doesn't really work. It often hangs up when I logout and it crashes every time when I start a sound (for example starting a mp3 with xmms)

- I can't eject CDs with the device-applet

- there are many problems with icons... so some icons get lost in the menu and I miss some icons when I add an applet (for example panel-force-quit (applet) and gnome-alsamixer (menu))

It all worked with 2.8 without any problems.

Am I the only one that have these problems?

Found another problem - Naultilus can no longer browse the root network samba tree.
i.e. When I open "Windows Network" in nautilus, it shows no machines, however typing the direct smb:// address works fine.

Anyone else encountered this?

erm, difficult to describe

in gnome 2.8 i can make all nautilus-icons smaller (100...75...50), and the font stayes "normal" - but since gnome 2.10 the font in nautilus also gets smaller

but i need smaller icons + the normal font size - notebook, not much space...
if i change the font size in apps generally, i got a new problem - this fonts will be to big in every other application!
what should i do?

When will 2.10 be released so you dont have to make any changes (~) or whatever. Would 2.10 be stable now if i tried to get it? and how do i go about getting it now?
