Fink 0.28.6, Mac OS 10.5.5 intel, XCode 3.0, Xquartz 2.2.3, tracking unstable source.
I upgraded some gnome packages over the weekend, and now various gnome preferences (esp. font size) no longer apply. Upon investigation, it appears that this is because the gnome-settings-daemon is no longer getting started when I start X. I use the normal Quartz window manager, not the gnome desktop, and so (at the suggestion of this list) I have .xinitrc (well, technically speaking, its equivalent) start gnome-settings-daemon upon launching X. I'd previously hard-coded the path as /sw/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon, but this file no longer exists. Further, starting the control center from the command line doesn't work either; it gives me a dialog saying it can't start the settings daemon. I did find /sw/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon, but when I run this, my preferences don't take effect as they used to. However, if I then start the control center, it can find and start the settings daemon, and everything's fine. Surely there must be a way to load the settings-daemon without manually starting the control center every time I start X. What am I overlooking? If it helps, you can find a list of the changed packages below. Apologies for the lousy formatting, but I don't have time to clean it up. Read this as the output of "diff before after". Thanks for any help, Richard 26c26 < cairo-shlibs 1.8.2-1 --- > cairo-shlibs 1.8.4-1 32,33c32,33 < clamav 0.94.1-11 < clamav5-shlibs 0.94.1-11 --- > clamav 0.94.2-11 > clamav5-shlibs 0.94.2-11 39,40c39,40 < control-center 2.20.3-2 < control-center2-shlibs 2.20.3-2 --- > control-center 2.24.0.1-1 > control-center2-shlibs 2.24.0.1-1 65c65 < dia 0.96.1-1006 --- > dia 0.96.1-1007 82c82 < evince 2.20.2-5 --- > evince 2.20.2-6 96c96 < fink-mirrors 0.28.5.3-1 --- > fink-mirrors 0.28.6.1-1 134d133 < gnome-applets 2.24.1-1 138d136 < gnome-desktop4-shlibs 2.22.3-3 143,144c141,142 < gnome-menus 2.24.1-1 < gnome-menus2-shlibs 2.24.1-1 --- > gnome-menus 2.24.2-1 > gnome-menus2-shlibs 2.24.2-1 148,149c146,148 < gnome-vfs2-unified 1:2.24.0-1 < gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs 1:2.24.0-1 --- > gnome-settings-daemon 2.24.0-1 > gnome-vfs2-unified 1:2.24.0-2 > gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs 1:2.24.0-2 164,165c163,164 < gtk+2 2.14.4-102 < gtk+2-shlibs 2.14.4-102 --- > gtk+2 2.14.5-1 > gtk+2-shlibs 2.14.5-1 169,170d167 < gucharmap6-shlibs 1.10.2-4 < gucharmap7-shlibs 2.24.1.1-1 178d174 < gweather-data 2.24.1-2 210a207,208 > libcanberra-gtk0-shlibs 0.10-5 > libcanberra0-shlibs 0.10-4 228d225 < libgnomekbd2 2.24.0-1 230,231d226 < libgnomekbd2-shlibs 2.20.0-3 < libgnomeui2 2.24.0-1 238,239d232 < libgtop2.0.7-shlibs 2.20.2-2 < libgweather-shlibs 2.24.1-2 251c244 < libnautilus-ext1-shlibs 2.20.0-3 --- > libnautilus-ext2-shlibs 2.24.2-1 260d252 < librarian.0-shlibs 0.6.0-1004 263d254 < libsoup2.4.1-ssl-shlibs 2.24.1-1 271a263 > libtool2-shlibs 2.2.6-1 276d267 < libwnck1.22-shlibs 2.24.1-1 296,297c287 < metacity 2.20.2-2 < metacity-shlibs 2.20.2-2 --- > metacity-shlibs 2.24.0-2 309d298 < nspr-shlibs 4.6.7-1 344c333 < postgresql83-shlibs 8.3.4-1 --- > postgresql83-shlibs 8.3.5-1 558c547 < vim 7.2.025-1 --- > vim 7.2.055-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
