I guess I'm using dtlogin. I don't know. Didn't the vermillion install script change it for me? Presumably not. Why does it rely on gdm anyway? I've used vanilla Xnest for this sort of thing without any problems. > > 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. I worked that out, but that's not how xcalc, previous versions of gnome calculator, or any of the calculators in my house work. The way this works is that if you hit the sqrt button it immediately does the sqrt operation on the current value. I think the workaround is to uncheck the 'Use arithmetic precedence' option. Then it behaves better, although it is extremely cluttered. Overall the calculator has regressed somewhat. > > What's the Document Viewer?

The point is that the menu item calls it something else that is rather misleading. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
