I have a little problem with the newest unstable gdm-releases. In this case gdm-2.4.2.99. From time to time I use xfce4 and openbox. But when I click on sessions in gdm I can only choose gnome, gnome-save env. and xterm. The startupscripts for xfce and openbox are placed in /etc/X11/Sessions.
Is there a new place or something like that where I have to copy the scipts?

I hit this one during 2.3.3. Pop open your gconf-editor, and edit the accessibility keys to get the values you want.
Reporting it isn't a bad idea either. |
Which are the entries to modify? I have been looking for them when I found the problem, but I couldn't find it.

I think its not my cup of tea  |
Annoying, isn't it? Don't get discouraged. In portage, ebuilds come in three categories. They can be stable, unstable, and masked. GPDF is masked. The easiest way to emerge gpdf is to use the ebuild file itself as the arguement, like this:
| Code: | | emerge /usr/local/portage/app-text/gpdf/gpdf-1.0.5.ebuild |
That should do it. |

You got it... They moved the location and changed the syntax of the session files to be more in line with the freedesktop standards. The new location is in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ and you will see pretty quickly how to use em...

If you compiled with the breakme flag, the key you are looking for is apps->metacity->general->reduced_resources

Ok, so it's only one gconf setting now. Anyhow, it wasn't there, but after a recompile I've been able to set it. Thanks Lin_Matt!

When I log in to gnome I get a Settings Daemon error (The Settings Daemon restarted to many times.) and the Gnome Panel goes in some kind of crash loop...
Before I compile the entire of Gnome again without breakme flag: has anybody experienced this kind of behaviorbefore? And how did you fix it (if you fixed it, of course  )

and gst-plugins emerged fine .. lets see how far I get.
edit: so .. finished compiling with gcc-3.3

Yeah... I open that bug today. They are really fast guys
Also as a temporaty workarround you could change the values directly with the gconf-editor at the entries:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/delay
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/rate

Do you have linc and bonobo-activation installed? If so, remove them, then inject them with emerge -i, and then recompile libbonobo and ORBit2. After that run revdep-rebuild. For more information check out this thread. |

i really like the new unified gnome-panel, but i would like to have an OS-X like launcher panel at the bottom of my screen. With 2.2 I can set this up (do not expand, set a reasonably large size, no hide buttons) but the same settings in 2.3.x leave two bars that look like the hide buttons on either side of my panel. Any way to get rid of them?
Thanks,
Rahul |

|
|
Hi there,
I've upped the whole gnome-2.3.5 release from BMG, and seems one particular feature is missing badly from it's metacity, namely, sloppyfocus works as expected, but if I click anywhere on a window, it should raise it's Z-order imho. That was working all the time till 2.3.5, but from now, only clicking on the windows' title bar get them to raise, and it's *very* annoying. (An alternative solution is getting used to Alt-Rclick, but I don't like that either).
Questions:
1. everyone's getting the same behaviour?
2. anyone know how to turn that 'feature' off?
3. also, anyone happens to know the reasons behind that feature-rip from the developers side (or it'll turn out as a bug)?
tia,
dyn

That's the new behaviour, some fantastic soul managed to convince Havoc Pennington that it's the Right Way. He's dead against a preference for it by the way, as there are people (including myself) who've been campaigning for this change since it got changed to click-anywhere-to-raise way back in the early days of metacity development.
Of course, he knows he can't please everyone, but if he won't implement a preference, I'd far rather have it like this. I can actually do useful work now.

OK, I get the point. I guess it's a matter of preference.. but then you don't use sloppy focus either, and you got used to click-in-window to receive the focus, right? I believe the raise-thingy would be damn annoying for sure in this case, but the other way around, if you do use sloppy focus, clicking on the window doesn't do anything then (the same annoyance from my side :)
What I can't see really is that who'd feel hurted if the solution for the problem got added as a gconf-registry setting. When metacity got started, I preferred the 'avoid bloat' approach. I've already got used to several wired (hard-coded) defaults of this beast which I wasn't really happy about, but -no flame here really- this was over the last one.
