if yer getting multiple cd desktop icons, it might be something lower down than the deskop layer...something like /etc/fstab having multiple entries for the cdrom...which could be being created by kudzu in error. If the /etc/fstab file is a little wacky..i don't think the desktop layer is smart enough to account for it...it just assumes fstab is configured sanely and moves on from there.
As for magicdev....gnome menu->preferences->CD properties will configure its settings. As for panel configuration...im guessing its configs are tied into gconf now. Though if you want to see if its a problem specifically with yer user settings you could created a new fresh test user on yer system and login as them. If the problems go away...its a good indication that your user settings were messed up specifically (and its probably going to be hard for any of the rest of us to try to confirm). If the problem exists in a fresh user account...thats a good indication that the problems are on the system side of things (still might not be easy to confirm). You should be able to manage the running gnome session processes via Preferences->MorePreferences->Sessions if gnome-panel appears twice in the Running Programs with a style of respawn...you might want to make some changes there....or just saving your session on logout after you have corrected things through whatever actions work for you. -jef On Fri, 2003-03-07 at 07:46, Michael wrote: > Hi everybody, > > nobody seems to have the same problem like me :( anyway it's a little > bit anoying to erase cd icons all the time. > firstly, can somebody please tell me which files are involved when the > panel starts. where are the configuration files for the panel?? > secondly, i read that magicdev is responsible for the automount of a > cdrom. but i can't find a man page or any other description about the > program. > so i also need to know, which files are responsible to draw the cd icon > on the desktop. where can i find more about magicdev??? > thx > > by Michael
