GNOME Support

I'm running some gnome applications on a remote (cygwin/X) display. How do I configure the fonts used? The local Appearances applet just sets things for the local display. Are X resources used? Apologies if this is a simple question, but I've done a fair bit of searching round and not found anything. Richard

Hello, all. We're having some difficulty properly setting GNOME defaults using XDG_DATA_DIRS. In our specific case, we are trying to set the system default for all users to acroread from Evince because Evince is not properly rendering some of the more complicated documents. We set XDG_DATA_DIRS=/data/.Common/xdg/default:/usr/share:/usr/local/share::/opt/trinity/share/:/usr/share/ /data/.Common/xdg/default has an applications directory with a defaults.list file setting the default pdf application for application/pdf and application/vnd.adobe.pdf to AdobeReader.desktop which points to acroread. The problem seems to be that there is a /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list which is a link to /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/defaults.list which sets Evince as the default. This seems to be overriding our defaults. If I edit that file or rename it, the default is set properly. To override it, I tried creating a gnome directory under /data/.Common/xdg/default/ and moving the applications directory under that in case

Hello Using Gnome 2.30.2 on Debian testing: When I try to log out of Gnome or shutdown the system using the "System" menu options, nothing happens. I have to call up a terminal window and manually reboot the system. Gnome is used in conjunction with GDM, and I don't know which is causing the problem. My system is up-to-date and despite searching on-line I cannot find any information on either the cause nor the solution, altho' clearly a fair number of Gnome users seem to be experiencing this as an issue. Any help for this please? It is getting so frustrating that I am seriously considering switching to another DM. Thanks for any input. AG

Hi! I'm new to this list. My dist is Fedora 12, but I compiled kernel 2.6.34 and X from source. I have managed to fix every problem compiling Gnome with JH Build until now. Compiling Nautilus is the headache. Even Google failed to find answers... Please help as I really want Gnome to work on my machine.
