Normally a failure in gdmcomm_check happens when you aren't using GDM as your login program. Are you using CDE login. We really should take this out of the menu for users using CDE login since it only works if GDM is being used. > The calculator is broken. Type in 121, then hit sqrt - it should pop up > 11. I'm confused. First you hit sqrt, then 121, then ")", then =, and it works for me. > Dictionary comes back with unable to find dictionary source, and then I > got the ended unexpectedly dialog. > > core 'core' of 2444: /usr/bin/gnome-dictionary > ff2b0630 strlen (1c871, ffbff4cc, ff369cf1, 0, ff36cd30, 73) + 50 > ff2f4da0 vsnprintf (ffbff357, 1, 1c870, ffbff4c8, 7ffffc00, 0) + 64 > ff13a9c0 g_printf_string_upper_bound (1c870, ffbff4c8, 0, ff36d644, 0, > 0) + 10 > ff16129c g_vasprintf (ffbff41c, 1c870, ffbff4c8, ff36a904, ff3a2000, > 1000) + 68 > ff14be70 g_strdup_vprintf (1c870, ffbff4c8, ff36a8c0, f, 5, ff3a2000) + > 10 > ff14bea0 g_strdup_printf (1c870, 0, 7b7d8, ff1a6238, 6e31c, 1c870) + 1c > 00019010 gdict_window_set_word (4d1e8, 0, ffbff598, 5b700, ff236f50, > 1c800) + 40 > ff22ee38 g_object_constructor (191f4, 5b700, b2ca8, 4d1e8, b4270, 5) + > 254 > 0001a52c gdict_window_constructor (ace40, 6, b2c78, 1cc00, ff22ebe4, > 2e000) + 2c > ff22e040 g_object_newv (b5cf8, b55e0, 1a500, ff26b534, b2c78, ff26c25c) > + 3a8 > ff22eb80 g_object_new_valist (0, 0, ffbff8ec, 31c18, b5b18, 1) + 35c > ff22db3c g_object_new (ace40, 1cfd8, 39c60, 3da6c, ff26b534, 14800) + > 84 > 0001af24 gdict_window_new (39c60, 0, 0, 1d000, 1cc00, 6) + 6c > 00015528 gdict_create_window (34c10, 15400, 15000, 1b800, 1b800, 1000) > + 40 > 00015f44 gdict_main (2e000, 1b800, 31f68, 1b800, 1bc00, 0) + 3c > 0001afe8 main (1d000, ffbffa74, 1d000, 1d000, 1d000, 1d000) + 4c > 00014bf0 _start (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 108 I think I just fixed this and it should be corrected in the next build. > What's the Document Viewer?

One reason for the duplicate features is to support a11y. Some of the tools that work well with a11y don't have all the features of the other tools. Brian
