I agreed to remove them, and had no problems with configuration other than the fact that new windows attach themselves to the position 0,0 on the screeen. I can activate Spaces, and while the sectors are visible (I have four set up), move the window to another position. This is a new behavior since the last update. > windows would close.

The logout options have changed to include both logout and shut down; neither one have any noticeable effect. I have simply quit X11. > Gary K Olson > >> On Nov 17, 2008, at 12:34 PM, Alexander Hansen wrote: >> >>> >>> On Nov 17, 2008, at 2:29 PM, Gary K Olson wrote: >>> >>>> I think I sent this message to wrong address (sorry), so I am >>>> sending >>>> it again. >>>> I compiled bundle-gnome on my ibook which went well.
