so you upgraded from a 1.2 machine to a 1.4 ? Yes, but the problems didn't start occuring then, the login problem happened after a more recent update of glibc, though so far using gentoo-sources, I haven't had the problem.. we'll see how things turn out. But the frozen-bubble problem, and the lack of panel applet in the "Add to panel" menu for Notification Area still both confuse me. 3) From my gnome2 panel, I do not have a way to add a "Notification Area" at all.. though I follow the same procedure on other friend's box and it is there. It simply is not on the list on mine. There is no "Notification Area" in Gnome 2.0 from official sources. RedHat 8 has one, and Gnome 2.2 prereleases do. Not Gnome 2.0 as in Gentoo Signing this away from Gnome team, since we can't help with the PAM issue. 1) Pam seems to have stopped having problems, maybe it was something with the Kernel I was using. 2) Frozen-bubble is a known other bug 3) I still don't understand why my friend is able to get a Notification Area and I am not. We are both using the same profile, and both have ~x86 KEYWORDS. If this is some fluke, then feel free to close this bug. gnome-panel 2.1.2 appeared in portage for a short time I believe. There's even an entry in /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-panel/Changelog. Maybe your friend merged it then. I've got gnome-panel-2.0.9 on mine, but from the CVS, I noticed that gnome-panel-2.2.0 has just been committed today. For your reference, here is where the gnome-panel nofitication applet was introduced: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-November/msg00064.html i thought this was _already_ closed. looks like its been re-opened in the bugs.gentoo.org transistion or am i just remembering incorectly. *shakes head* |
