[Fink-beginners] Gnome windows "locked" at 0,0 & Zombies

[Stan Sanderson]

I posted to the fink-users list, but perhaps the question was too basic- no one responded. I'm running Apple's X11 and updating from cvs- see below:

Package manager version: 0.11.2
Distribution version: 0.5.1.cvs
Mac OS X version: 10.2.3
December 2002 Developer Tools
gcc version: 3.1
make version: 3.79
(Updates done through the terminal using fink update-all)

Since the most recent round of updates, windows created by Gnome applications are anchored to the upper left-hand corner (0,0) of the screen. Furthermore, the ability to resize windows has disappeared. I realize that by using unstable versions of the software I'm always running a risk that things won't work, but I was wondering if someone might have a suggestion as to what might be causing the problem.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one experiencing it, but I haven't seen any other messages on either list (fink-users or fink-beginners) describing the problem.

Also, is it expected that when I log out of Gnome and then quit X11, zombie processes should be reported (Name:X11, User: root, Status: Zombie) by the Process Viewer?

The last entry in the Console is:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
