Is Gnome absolutely dead in 8.2 b1? I cannot successfully bring up a gnome session from xdm login. Instead, my X-session seemingly restarts itself (gray screen, black X after a moment of screen darkness, then xdm again). KDE works fine.
Similarly, gnumeric and some other gnome-based apps will not run from within KDE. I checked my installed libs from the package manager (Mandrake manager). Some of the gnome libs and ?.pixbuf.? were not installed. On trying to install those from the CD's, the Mandrake installer basically freezes the system while spinning the cd-rom almost constantly. I had to hard reset because I could not bring up a virtual terminal. Cheers, John
