Gnome 2.10 (part 2)

rapsure · Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 6:08 am Post subject: Gnome 2.10 + Smeg

I like gnome 2.10 a lot with Smeg

. Without Smeg it is like have one of your arms cut off. I like to customize my menus

, and so Smeg worked out really well. I did try denu

, but Smeg is just meant to work with Gnome, and so it it slicker, and just easier to work with

. I found that Smeg still worked without a patched gnome-menus-2.10

. I like the layout of Gnome 2.10 I just wish that the Gnome team would have thought about menu editing before they released :wink:

.

I tried gnome-menu-editor 0.3 but it can't create the menus, and it crashes. I don't know if it will make it in Gnome 2.12, and that is because it looks like something similiar to Smeg is in the package gnome-menus-2.11.1 already. Two competing methods to modify the menus. Smeg is written in Python, and gnome-menu-editor is written in C. Smeg works now, and gnome-menu-editor is broken still, and riddled with memory leaks. There is be a simple menu-editor that comes with gnome-menus-2.11.1, and it is written in python.

Something is wrong with the whole panel system all together. My "Recent Documents" won't clear off the menu, the Trash applet reflects the state upon login, the battery applet reflects the login state, etc. Logging in and out updates these three things, but if not they'll keep the same state as before. Should I file a bug report? I think this goes a lot farther than just the Trash applet issue.

ive gone thru the forums and the thread this is an extension of (all 25 pages) and i guess im the only one having this problem

gnome-games will not compile, i thought it was my agressive gcc optimizations but its not i tried it with no flags and it still fails, i thought it was nptl but others have no problem

ive tried +howl -howl +guile -guile and every variation thereof, same thing

i thought maybe it was a heat issue (this box is 20 miles away so i cant just feel the side of the case) but every other part of gnome 2.10 compiles with ease

it breaks at the same place everytime, which appears to be a problem in the code itself

For some reason Removable Storage is not showing up in Desktop->Preferences menu. Anyone know why? Hoe can I fix it?

Thanks

Gamin sounds great! I'll look forward to using it, though, I'll wait for it to become marked at stable

I did some testing with smeg to see why when you deleted an entry in the menu, and the item was a system wide entry as to why it didn't delete. They synopsis is that the system menu items have higher priority than the local. That makes it so that the system wide will over ride all local .desktop entries that have the same name as in the /usr/share/applications directory. The freedesktop standard to over ride that is to add an <AppDir></AppDir> in a menu entry. That will change the priority to your local directory. Another bug is that when you move an entry that is system wide to another submenu the entry you get a duplicate in both locations. This can be dealt with by adding an <Exclude></Exclude> to your local applications.menu file. The deviation from the standard is that it assumes that local has higher priority than system, and that is incorrect. :wink:

Anyone here using file-roller? I'll view an archive and try to drag and drop files out into a folder. Sometimes they don't move the files over, but instead a progress bar opens then closes and nothing is moved? Any idea why it's happening and how to fix it? I'm not sure if it's a nautilus bug or a file roller bug..
