I did a recent emerge -uDNav world and most of my gnome packages are 2.24 now.2 issues: 1) Logout, shutdown, restart commands from gnome menu don't seem to be working. Nothing happens, no menu appears. Same goes for using the Power button applet.
I can manually log myself out, of course, by doing "killall gnome-session" but that can't possibly be the Right Thing (tm). :) 2) The Lock Screen command, however, works and sends me to my screensaver. However, when I move the mouse and the password dialog reappears, the background is the default green splashscreen that comes with a new user. Weird. I don't know where to hunt to change the lock screen background, and I was pretty sure it was supposed to just be gnome-screensaver with a dialog on top. 3) While I'm at it, does anyone know a way to get the "random pictures" screen saver to select a specific folder without making a folder mess in my home folder called Pictures? I have my own sorting scheme of things and it's getting to me, also I don't want all of my pictures flying out on the screensaver ;D
