XMMS works, Xmovie plays, the cdplayer + plays. It is just the gnome sound events dont play. If you go in to the + gnome control center and click sounds, they are enable there. Both 'Enable + sound server startup' and 'Sounds for events' are checked. If you click on + 'Play' for any of the sounds, they dont play, BUT if you click 'Apply' and + wait a couple of seconds for it to think, you can then click on any one of + the sounds and hit 'Play' and they work. As soon as you close out the sound + properties, no more. If you go back in, you are right back to start where + it wont play any sounds unless you click 'Apply' again. + + 2. Gnome terminals refuse to do transparent windows. If you click + 'Settings' Preference' and choose the 'Image' tab, you can select + 'Transparent' but it does nothing. Just black. You can change it to a + different color and that works, or you can use an image as a background and + that works, but never transparent. + + 3. The gnome background color will not stay. I can go in and change it by + hand, log out, and log back in and it is back to that bright red color. I + have 'Automatically save changes to session' checked under the 'Startup + Programs' in gnome control center too. + + I figure that I must have inadvertantly not installed something that is not + required to make gnome run, but really damn useful : ). I hope I was + descriptive enought to help anyone help me. So, help me please, and I + appreciate your time for reading all of this if you have. Thanks . . . + + Doug Gruber + + "Jim Miller is our quarterback, just like Olin Kreutz is our center and the + A-Train (Anthony Thomas) is our running back.
