I still have huge issues running GNOME shell in Cauldron. Problems: 1. Cannot skip in mplayer (said to be glibc problem) 2. Sometimes when I use volume up/down keys, the popup window doesn't disappear. After that, the volume keys don't work anymore. I can still switch the volume using the volume icon in the top bar. I can click through the popup window, but cannot see what is underneath it (really annoying). The volume key is handled by gnome-settings-daemon. 3. Switching between apps or workspaces using alt+tab, alt+~, ctrl+alt+up/down makes GNOME shell hang. I'm currently avoiding workspaces all together, because when I switch between workspaces, GNOME shell can easily hang within 5 minutes. Usually I can unfreeze X by stopping and starting "dm" (gdm). Sometimes I have to reboot or shut the machine down completely (usually when the plymouth/gdm background is garbled). I've updated all the packages, running the latest kernel, latest pulseaudio, etc. As driver, I use nouveau driver. I'm guessing glibc is to blame, but not sure. I'll try and use strace on GNOME shell + gnome-settings-daemon (volume keys) next time one of them hangs again. -- Regards, Olav
