The user can then click the icon to bring up a box like in the screenshot.

--- I have just installed the src version of wine20030709 and I had the
same problem. I don't think it's a wine setup problem, because with a
knoppix on HD I installed wine exactly as now and it worked. Perhaps it's a
conflict whith my mandrake, so perhaps there is some wine compiling option
that I should know, or there is something in my mdk configuration wrong.
Is your mandrake installation almost standard? Did you recompile the
kernel? which compiling options did you use for wine?
Thanks a lot

[Cooker] OT: Evolution and IMAP support in cooker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Is it just me or is the current Cooker version of Evolution 1.4 so incredibly buggy ? (Or is Evolution 1.4 working at all ? I do not know, I am KDE user and didn't use Gnome since long time ago - no flamewars please). I am trying to start it under KDE and use it with my IMAP account. It usually hangs when trying to contact the IMAP server. The server logs say, that there was a wrong certificate version sent from Evolution (??? I have no personal certs set up, authentication is just with password over SSL). OK, I kill it, kill bonobo, kill gconf and whatever else there is, restart, then it pops up the dialogue about a self-signed certificate. OK, so far so good. Then, when trying to work with my mail, it likes to freeze in various stages, e.g. when downloading mail, when trying to exit the program, sometimes I lose my filters, trying to use LDAP server for contacts hangs it etc. Did anybody manage to use Evolution with IMAP ? I switched to IMAP recently for my e-mail and had to abandon Kmail, because it does not support automatic running of filters on IMAP folders yet. With my tons of spam and 800 new mails daily it is huge pain to use. Right now I am using Mozilla, but that is very slow. I tried to use Thunderbird as well, but the speed of the GUI is not much improved. You almost see the widgets redrawing. I also tried Sylpheed, but it is using old GTK 1.2 and it's non-antialiased fonts stand out as a sore thumb. Any suggestions for a reasonable e-mail client with good IMAP support ?

Now you know why I didn't include them ;-) No, seriously, the problem with these scripts is that they try to manipulate the datastore directly instead of through the protocol. Since the format of the datastore could change, the only recommended way is to speak to the server with the imap protocol. Well, after a lot of googling and some hacking, we now have a set of working scripts, based on these, the original sources from the book, some versions converted from the tcl version of cyradm to perl-Cyrus, and some hacking. There is only one important issue, and that is that messages lose their status flags (ie read messages appear unread). Ideally, we would like to keep these. Any idea if the imap method would retain them?

I tried a similar patch first on my Asus A7V8X w/PDC376 and it didn't
work, you didn't test it? This 20376 identifies itself as a RAID
controller instead of a MISC storage device, and the driver checks on
this so I needed to change a bit more.
With attached patch the driver works. I haven't done real stress tests,
but so far I haven't had any problems. Inserting the pdc-ultra module
makes the system unresponsive for a few seconds, but it doesn't seem to do
any harm. Only tested with a PATA disk.

I do not know, I am KDE user and didn't use Gnome since long time ago - no flamewars please). AFAIK it's just you. I have a comparable setup as far as cooker is concerned (up-to-date, but with the older mm kernel). I use evolution both at home (latest cooker) and at work (evolution 1.2.4 on mdk 9.1), accessing my home e-mail from my IMAP server at home, and my work e-mail from the IMAP at work (so both installs have both a fast, local, connection and a slow, remote, one). The work install uses SSL to connect to the home IMAP, so that's covered too. And use KDE as desktop environment. The only problem I have is that at work for very large mailboxes ( 1000 mails) over the connection to my home machine the 'reindexing' process can take a bit long.

I think it would be nice to have one or two *really* good backgrounds in each style, so maybe: -landscapes -flowers/butterflies kind of idea -textured background (like the ripples) -flatter background in the style of the current blue background, or something like the default OSX, or one of the Ximian-type (the sofa stuff) But, it would of course be nicer to have a bit of a Mandrake slant, instead of just ripping backgrounds off art.gnome.org or kde-look.org. The issue is really getting the default look integrated, from lilo, through bootsplash, dm, desktop splash screen (if applicable), cursor theme, desktop background, icons, widget theme, wm theme etc etc. I assume someone at Mandrakesoft handles this, but in the past when I have tried to contact such people, I have had very abrupt replies ... it would be nice if people who have the ability (not me! I am no graphist) in the community could work together with the Mandrakesoft'ers. I know these aspects are probably sensitive, and Mandrakesoft would want to keep such things under wraps possibly, but that is why we have GPG (which we trust for more sensitive things ...). Of course, it might be nice if someone from the community could step up to the plate and handle community contributions, and try and start cooperation with the Mandrakesoft people. Oh yes, of course, keeping the graphics consistent even through the distro to the websites may be another idea to continue building brand awareness (as SuSE and RH do).
