Do the the ISOs being built here, and not from the official Paris repository. I could build them from there, but then things would really be broken, as those sources aren't too good. I probably should have reprocessed all the packages and signed them, but I neglected to do so. > With the default look and feel windows can only be grabbed from the top > and bottom. > Not PPC specific I don't believe.

Gimp here opens with 3 small windows and the "hint" screen. I don't really use linuxconf, as Mandrake's tools provide most of that functionality. Or are you talking about rpmdrake in all this? I uninstalled gimp and linuxconf and reinstalled using rpmdrake, and yes, I observed the gpg signature issue, but at no time during the install was anything off screen (1024x768). This is using KDE. I also removed my ~/.gimp* directory and went back through the initially user setup of gimp, and did not find any windows off screen there either. Unless I'm missing something, linuxconf still looks to be a console app than runs in a terminal, unless you're talking about gnome-linuxconf? Again, that app was fully on-screen here at 1024x768. At any rate, I don't believe any of this is PPC specific. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.freenode.net #cooker-ppc Archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&r=1&w=2
