Yes, my guess is that it is some nastiness left over from the split and thus a Mandrake issue. I am not an _active_ 'gnome' hacker but my vicous-builds for 1.4+ and 2 are fine.
Re: [Cooker] Gnome Background
Hello, Since the introduction of the gnome-control-center package, some of the settings have been split in a -capplet and -control progy. For instance, the backgroud is configured from background-properties-capplet and the background-properties-control does the job of actually appling the changes. If you run the -control it will register with the session-manager and will be restared on login an thus set the corresponding prefs correctly. The probleme is that most of the -capplet won't start their -control part when a change is made. I guess this is so because you don't want to have as many -control running as changes made in the -capplet. The feets which appears on the splash screen are related to this -control beeing executed and the gnome not knowing what they are for and thus unable to find an icon for them. Actually this mis-understanding between the different gnome components is such that the gnome-session manager will keep multiple copies of a -control registered in it's config. If you count the number of feets you should have as many -control entries in the .gnome/session. I don't know if this is mainly a Mandrake or a Gnome bug. Could any one from Mandrake comment on this ? I'm not a gnome hacker so I may be wrong. Cheers, Odie -- +--+ | Olivier Dormond aka Odie [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +--+

Feet are not at the Same here, although this just happens with my regular, old user. If I create a new user and login to Gnome with this user, there are regular icons.

Feet are not at the same place depending on the machines ;-) Cheers =-= kk1
