Hi...

there is a thread on debian-devel, about gnome...=20

Ther are some problem I thing. It seems, that they are waiting for gnome1.4.
xfree4.0.2 are in woody and works great, but the woody's gnome is very bad.

I don't want to use sawmill, so I installed fvwm2 from scratch so fvwm2 is
my wm for gnome :-\, not very good.

The developer are working on that problem....

I was subscribed, but I don't have enough time to be in -devel as
well. I'll check the archives to follow the thread then. Thanks.

My main interest in gnome 1.2 is because I was using it for quite a
while before I switched to Debian. All my existing configs don't work
and I liked the new features and look of the new one. It will be cool
when 1.4 is available.

I'm not sure if it is X, Gnome, Sawfish or something else, but my
desktop doesn't look so nice in Debian. I can't quite put my finger
on what it is either. I had a real nice looking desktop with RH6.1
and 7.0. I kept up with the latest gnome and sawfish rpms too,
though. Interestingly enough, when I installed 7.0 I found that some
of the stuff in it was older than what I already had.

I like sawfish. (the name changed due to a copyright conflict)

As always ;-).

I started to work with slink/potato last summer and with the gnome from ths
time. Ok, it works great, I don't have any problems.

I upgrade to woody, as woody become testing and the problems began. :-(

My old config's doesn't work etc. Gnome (ximian) started, when I purge all
my config's on my home-directory.=20

:-) Did you have the helixcode/ximian Packages on RedHat.

IMHO it is not Debian, when doesn't look nice, it is a question of time of
configuring your System. :-)

Yes, I know, woody has sawmill 0.27. I think, sawfish is 0.38?
