So, I have succesfulle installed 2.10. And Nautilus is fast. Which is cool. Actually it is the only reason I opted to upgrade. So I am pleased. One small thing went wrong though. My bash promt all of a sudden says:

Oh, if anyone ever has a similar problem as I did (which I doubt considering the amount of posts addressing my problem

), it's fixable by adding udevstart to /etc/conf.d/local.start. For some reason the permissions for /dev/null get messed up, but udevstart fixes it.

Its a gnome terminal thing, do this.

Edit-> Current Profile

Title and Command Tab, check 'Run command as login shell'

that should fix your problem

Hello, here is my problem:
I have a laptop with a screen resolution of 1024x768, so i change my Icon-Size generally to 75% - thats looks quiet good at my desktop, an the icons in the filemanager itself are also okay, but to font is to small. this is not 75% of my standard font size, maybe this are 25% of my stanard font size for applications.

so i have actually only the option to increase the standard application-font-size (this is to big!), make the standard icons bigger (this is to big), or...or?

no idea :/

Here a sample:
Stanard Font 100%
Font Size i want 75% -> I WANT THIS IN NAUTILUS, BECAUSE MY ICONS ALSO USE 75%
REALLY USED FONT SIZE 25%

Hi again,

Like I might or might not have said, I just started using gnome. Most of the apps I use are gtk-based but there are an occasional qt app I need to run (most noticeably qcad since I can't find any gtk cad apps). I've been googling to find something similar to gtk-qt, which under kde makes gtk apps look like qt apps. Judging from what I've found, there's no such thing. So, is there any hack, any workaround to let qt apps blend in to my gnome desktop somewhat better than they do? Thanks in advance.

Edit: By the way, I probably shouldn't clutter this thread with these sort of questions, so nevermind. For a moment there I forget there were other gnome-threads... sorry

Yes it would be a great idea to have qt apps look like gtk apps. But I can't even use my menu to insert my kde apps ! Is this possible ? on ubuntu they have smeg which is a menu editor. I'll have to switch to KDE if gnome can't do such basic thing.

Bye

Patrick

Hi,

OK, maybe the web server's going to take a little longer than predicted :oops:

, but in the mean time I've installed a piddly little ftp server which you *should* be able to reach at http://17boulden.no-ip.org/smeg-0.5-gnome-menus-cvs-overlay.tar.bz2. The tarball is for your portage overlay, and contains SMEG (Simple Menu Editor for Gnome) 0.5 and a patched version gnome-menus-2.10.1. Note that this has had limited testing by a team of 1 (me) so if it explodes your menu, eats you cat or does anything nasty you have been warned!

Extract the tarball into your overlay then:

Hi,

since I have updated to Gnome 2.10 my USB drivers doesn't mount automatically when I plug any USB-thing. I have to do it manually. How can I change it to mount it automatically and have it on "My PC" icon when I plug any USB driver, as when I had Gnome 2.8?
Thanks!

I updated my gnome awhile ago (after is got marked ~x86). Everything works like a charm, except for that a few icons are missing. gnome-main-menu.png, for example, or panel-force-quit.png. I already re-installed gnome-panel, but that didn't help.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't see the corresponding thread before...

Thanks in advance,
Drag0n

Has anyone had problems with the Gnome trash applet? It seems to not reflect the true state of the trash -- it appears full even after I empty the trash, and sometimes appears empty when there are files in the trash.
