Description Andrei Ivanov 2003-09-15 05:43:28 UTC

This error apears usually in gnome dialogs, such as the dialog used to edit a
profile in gnome-terminal. The problem is that instead of "General", it says
"b>General/b>".

For some more info, please look at bug 27635.
gnome is 2.4.0, but the same thing happened with 2.2.
libxml is 2.5.11

report of a fix of

1.) emerge libxml 
2.) emerge libxml2
3.) rm -rf ~/.gconf ~/.gnome ~/.nautilus

can you check if you still run into those problems after doing each step? i suspect remerging libxml2 is the critical step. remember to back up those settings dirs. thanks.

Comment 4 Andrei Ivanov 2003-09-16 07:13:04 UTC

I did step 1, 2 and 3. Because of step 3, gnome kinda fucked up. I now you said to back them up, but I thought that without them, *gnome will just load the defaults*. Now the gnome-panel size is double, and gnome-terminal doesn't have the menu bar visible... And I can't even switch between windows (ALT + TAB doesn't work...). Was this really supposed to happen ? And the error still seems to be there...

Comment 5 Andrei Ivanov 2003-09-27 02:04:56 UTC

I've reinstalled the system, and now everything seems ok...
