I guess the reason for the difference is that RHEL 4 provides the file but RHEL 3 does not.
If you are building Gnome into a different prefix, try setting XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$prefix/etc/xdg or $prefix/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg, which will change the search path for the applications.menu file. Similarly, for icon themes to be found, you need to set the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable (probably to $prefix/share:/usr/share) James. _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
