Well I've now got e16 running more or less the same way on three
linux distributions Kubunto 8.10, OpenSuSE 11.0, and now I've got it
running on Sabayon Linux 3.5 stable
I have to say I get the best results with it under Kubuntu.
Unfortunately for some reason Kubuntu fills my sound card up with
static. Which means it's no good for my background music...
(That certainly isn't an e16 issue as if I don't disable the external
speakers they start hissing long before the xserver starts...)
With Sabayon I find that I usually need to do a restart before all my
keybindings work. (for example <ctrl>+<alt>+<del>) But so far my
<alt>+<F1> binding for the enlightenment menu {where there is a handy
choice to restart} hasn't failed to get me that first restart. After
which the only real problem I'm having (with at least two distros)
Is that I'm not able to fix the microscopic font size used by any
gnome applications I may choose to use. I don't like or use gnome
itself. But there are a few applications (firefox, & gnucash come to
mind) from gnome that I do use... Firefox isn't an issue because I
just learned how to use a "userCrome.css" file in my firefox user
profile to tweak it's fonts. But that doesn't work for other gnome
applications such as gnucash... When I was running kde I could use
a gtk font configuration tool (found in kcontrol) that always needed
the xserver to be restarted before it took effect. the menu's that
came with my OpenSuSE e16 installation showed my that I can load that
tool with:
exec "kcmshell kcmgtk"
Or I can call up kcontrol and use it from there...
But even if I actually reboot into kde... so that kde can finish
processing the choices I make with it. when I boot e16 the gnome
applications are still using a microscopic default font. I don't
really want to install all of {eiuYuck} gnome just to get a few
aplications to use fonts I can read. Is there something else I can do
to get gnome applications to use larger fonts???
