No, no old gnome on this install. I have KDE on here. I was awaiting a new Gnome release before I moved to it again. I switch back and forth whenever I see an interesting release 
I also have Xorg 7

Do you use evdev? If so, thats probably a known bug, try to use this patch.
EDIT:Mm, probably not, sorry  |

@recall:
Many thanks, after reading through the whole bug report regarding buttons and evdev and gnome-settings daemon, I just switch for my MX1000 from evdev to mouse driver in xorg.conf. And.......everything works as it should. I didn't apply the provided patch, but this should fix the problem with the evdev driver.
YEAH ! Great |

run in a terminal and watch the output.
sounds like it's a premissions problem.

try removing ~/.gtk-bookmark (or gtk-bookmarks? i don't remember exactly), it fixed the problem for me, but I reverted to gnome 2.12 because there are other problems (can't get a working gnome if I remove the old gnome 2.12 settings)
btw, if automounting doesn't work for cd/dvd drives listen in /etc/fstab, well, it's not a bug accordign to the developers: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335162
IMHO this is crazy and the default should be the opposite (gnome-mount should follow policies defined in /etc/fstab and mount cd and dvd where I want them mounted)

The ebuild in portage disables it by default. Have a look at /usr/portage/x11-wm/metacity/metacity-2.14.0.ebuild and see the line G2CONF="$(use_enable xinerama) --disable-compositor" - that means metacity is compiled without composite suppport. My patch enables it if you activate the xcomposite USE flag. You'll still need to toggle the gconf key or else you won't notice anything. Gentoo disables it by default (and has since it first appeared, which was 2.8 or so) because it doesn't work on all graphics cards and is likely to crash gnome. It's a fair bit more ambitious/advanced than xcompmgr, transset and the composite extensions in kde and xfce.
Sorry, I just realised you'll need a libcm ebuild from somewhere first....I think breakmygentoo has one. |
I'm trying to enable compositor, but it seems there's an API break or something between metacity and the cvs version of libcm.
Edit: Just did a cvs checkout and seems it's fixed in there. I'll check it for stability first and if anyone wants the cvs metacity ebuild, I'll post it. |
It compiled fine, but for some reason it puts boolean instead of bool as the key type for the gconf compositing key. And for some reason, changing that to bool and reinstalling the schema doesn't make it show up in the gconf-editor.
Edit: Trying an uninstall and a reinstall with a patch to set boolean to bool. |
Hmm, looks like compositing through metacity won't work yet. I did the patch for the gconf schema, tried setting it to true in the .c file that reads the schema by default, and trying to enable it in gconf-editor makes gconf-editor crash with this backtrace. |
You don't need to patch it. Just running | Code: | | gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager --type bool true |
will start the compositor. After that it's available in gconf. |

Gnome-2.14 feels really good. Just emerged it (running ~x86) and have no problems except with Epiphany. It just gives an error message: Unable to determine the address of the message bus. Anyone got a solution? I already tried to restart dbus, but that doesn't solve it.
A great gnome release nevertheless, they really needed the speed improvement. The slowliness of gnome is no more  .

| For me the dbus / epiphany bug disappeared by itself. Maybe a restart is neccessary ( to remove orphaned tmp files of dbus ? ). |

Thanks recall, the patch didnt solve the problem for me, but at least gnome-2.14 works now with my touchpad, when I remove the mouse from xorg.xonf. |

Yes! Now it's there!
Thank you but... what does it do the "compositing manager"? I don't see any difference. I know WHAT is it but how does it works? How can I change trasparency, shadows and eyecandies?

I just unmask and emerge it.First impressions are good (especially deskbar-applet).The only problems (as i think they are already mentioned here ) are that when i choose some options in gconf it crashes giving me that error :
| Code: | paul@medic ~ $ gconf-editor
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0828d490 ***
Killed |
(with others is working ok)
and that automounting for my dvdrom dvdram and usbstick device isn't working if i had entries for them in fstab (as i had for them since 2.10) giving that :
| Code: | | You are not privileged to mount the volume 'K3b data project' |
.When i remove those entries everything is working ok exept that the icons of the mounted devices aren't showed in the desktop

When I plug removable USB drives or DVD it mounts to /media/ but in "Computer" it doesn't appear mounted

EDIT: I installed dbus-0.61 and now when insert a DVD or plug an USB drive says "Cannot mount volume" |
I'm seeing the same problem here, the drives auto mount successfully, but don't appear in Nauilus. Does anyone have auto mount working?
Update: Upgrading to the 2.6.15-r1 kernel solved this problem for me. |
I haven't read this until now. I solved this problem too by upgrading to 2.6.15-r1. Thanks |

Gconf seems definitely broken... I had it freeze when I tried to edit any keys in gconf-editor. It seems to break things that rely on it for settings, too (like gnome-session-properties).
For those wanting to downgrade to 12, I suggest you downgrade gconf first, as the compilation on other components breaks against gconf-2.14.0. Also might be a good idea to downgrade glib and gtk+ straigth away (so 'emerge glib gtk+ gconf').
As for Yelp problems, I built it without firefox and didn't have problems.

Yep (though then of course you'll need epiphany, I think).

I tried the command 'USE=-firefox' emerge yelp, and I get the same error. Keep in mind that I also tried this without firefox installed and it gave me the same error. =(

This does not look like firefox problem, so if someone has such compile problems post the relevant part of config.log from yelp.

In fact looking at what follows next in my log, could only hint to some CFLAGS/compiler problems:
| Code: | checking for ORBit - version >= 2.3.0... yes
checking for orbit-idl-2... /usr/bin/orbit-idl-2
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config

checking whether gcc understands -Wno-sign-compare... yes"
checking what warning flags to pass to the C compiler... -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare |
