Greetings, Seeing that GNOME 2.20 is just about complete in testing, I decided to upgrade from etch to lenny. Aside from losing my old theme (Ocean Dream), I've had three glitches in the upgrade:
First, fonts are now very small; same problem as Amir Tabatabaei noted last September. This is on a 150 dpi screen (1280x768 10.4"), so clearly X is not detecting it properly. Auto-detecting resolution is clearly the right thing to do, but does X indicate to GNOME when it has trouble with auto-detection, so GNOME can fall back to the old default for consistency? If this doesn't change, we're going to have a *ton* of traffic on debian-user and this list after release! How did Ubuntu Gutsy handle this? Second, 27 little icons looking like white springs with rulers across the tops showed up in my menu panel, interspersed randomly with my app launcher icons. They had no tooltips, so I couldn't tell what they were. Because the icons took more space than available, they got shoved behind the Applications/Places/System menu headers. Except they had higher priority, so when I clicked on Applications, either emacs launched, or I got the expanding-frame as if an app was launching but nothing happened (presumably I was hitting one of the dummy spring/ruler icons). Deleting the icons solved the problem, now the menus are fine. Third, when fading the screen, it fades toward black, then goes white! Later on DPMS blanking works fine, but what's with the white screen? I'm afraid I deleted the little icons of problem 2, so I destroyed information needed to diagnose that problem. :-( But how can I help to resolve the other two?
