On my partner's Debian Lenny computer, running Evolution 2.22.3.1 on KDE (but all Gnome libraries are installed and up-to-date), Evolution is not remembering passwords. Each time she logs in and goes to use Evolution, it requests her email (pop and smtp) passwords, even though the "remember passwords" box is ticked both on the request dialog box as well as under the options. For whatever reason the passwords just aren't being stored. In trying to fix this, after Googling I came across a few bug reports about this (but no solutions, nor any updates, patches, etc.) and no clear indication of useful steps to take. In desperation I uninstalled and purged Evolution and reinstalled it, but the same old problem again. I am reluctant to install Evolution from testing/ "squeeze" because of dependency issues and am, at this point, beginning to counsel her to switch clients to something like Sylpheed or Icedove/ Thunderbird. So, this is a last gasp of help before I deep-six the sucker and install an

He there, I read this article some weeks ago: http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html Major point in there: gnome developpers (and others in open software) simply dont care about fixing bugs. But I thought ... it cant be that bad. Now I started using gnome for a few days; and almost immediately I run into a problem that exists since 2003. ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126990 ) Please someone tell me that gnome does not suck that much in general. (and please dont tell me that gnome shell with resolve the problem ;-) ___________________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

Hello there, I got some advice that enabling the "Ring switcher" with the Compiz config manager gives me what I am looking for: the ability to select next/prev from ALL workspaces. (actually: i was looking for some not that fancy, like what the static switcher is doing ... just for all workspace instaed of just the current ... I really dont need my windows to "vibrate" after I selected one and its brought to the front) First I figured: OK, the config manager is doing all sorts of checking ... but it doesnt check which level of "visual effects" is enabled. And guess what ... when the level is not "Extra" ... the ring switcher is simply not enabled. Without telling me. Great. Similiar when deselecting the "wobble window" effect. I dont want that. Why do I need it for ring switching? With "extra", Ring switcher works pretty well ... but from time to time it seems like the "visual effects level" drops from "extra" to something "less". So, I loose ring switcher, and the static switcher is enabled again.

I'm using the gtk-win32 library with VC++2005. Until now, my GTK apps have worked successfully although any thread creation has so far been done using libpthread-win32. Now I'm building an app (quite a large one) that uses g_thread_create() and that doesn't seem to be working so well. 'g_thread_create()' seems to return without any errors - but the created threads immediately exit with "code 9". Later in the week I'll see if I can make a smaller app to reproduce the problem but in the meantime, I just wondered if anyone knows what it means when a thread exits with "code 9"? Thanks. John BTW - this is my first post to this list. If it isn't the correct list for this type of question, please just let me know the correct one.

Hi, I'm trying login to a Debian Lenny box from a Window XP box. I've got dumb terminal acess working properly, but I'd like to be able to access my desktop as well. I've installed vnc4server on the Debian, and tightvncviewer on the Windows box. If I run vnc4server -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24 on the Debian, login in via tightvncviewer and type gnome-session, it works after a fashion. The Desktop comes up, and I can access items such as the wastebasket. However, I can't access the top menu with Applications, Places and System on it. It's frozen. I'm sure this must be easy to correct, but I don't normally get involved in this sort of thing and I don't really understand the terminology. There are quite a few error messages on startup: duncan< at >debian1:~$ gnome-session SESSION_MANAGER=local/debian1:/tmp/.ICE-unix/4085 ** Message: another SSH agent is running at: /tmp/ssh-fwxDXn3909/agent.3909 ** (gnome-settings-daemon:4092): WARNING **: numlock: XkbQueryExtension returned an error ** (gnome-settings-daemo

Hi, Currently I'm trying to find a way to display korean character in gnome application such as gedit and others. So far I have done this steps : install fonts-korean, install korean language support. I have tried login with korean language and the fonts came out but whole menu is also in korean language. This is not what I want. I want to login in english but also able to display korean character. I have seen that there's no korean language in gedit. By the way, if I open the file in OpenOffice the korean character was appeared, the problem is this is java source code files and I only want to open it in standard text-editor like gedit. I've also tried in eclipse and netbeans to show this character (euc-kr) to no avail. With Best Regards, Ari

Hello, I am looking for some shutdown dialog just like the one from gnome-panel: does not appear in "Alt+Tab list" neither get minimized and its always shown on the screen, even out of focus. I have already look for it in gnome-panel-2.28.0 sources, but I cant find it. Do I have to use directly X functions to make a dialog like that?

I would like to display partly transparent images directly on the gnome background, much like the way icons are displayed on the Desktop, but I want the images to be much bigger than icons are allowed to be and I want to be able to drag them around and resize them with the mouse. I can make gif or png files containing transparencies, but I don't know of a utility that will display such files without its own (non-transparent) background being in the way. I haven't found any relevant information with Google searching or in the gnome documentation. Does anyone know of an appropriate utility or technique or other help list? Thanks, Pierre

I want to create a fullscreen window only using X11 functions. Everything works ok, but I get gnome panel appearing on top of my window, even if the window captures all of the user input. How can I programmatically hide the gnome panel, while still using only X11 functiions? Maybe there is some kind of hint for a window manager that can be passed from X11 to the window manager.

Hello. I want to add my application to Gnome Panel group, e.g. Applications -> Programming, programmatically, i.e. via $ make install. How can I do that? Thanks, Alex
