Yes its part of the @core group so it should be part of all normal spins!
It could be a path issue like you say but from the powermanger.spec in F9
gtk-update-icon-cache is given a full path and touch isn't and they both fail?

The optimum approach I use is livecd-tools, i.e you build your own desktop the way you want it at install time with what you want in it. (rpmfusion,some other random rpms) Start with the xfce spin kickstart file for ideas making sure to remove all the unneeded junk (junk=bandwidth=cash) and work your way from there, it becomes simple after a few goes and you don't have to keep downloading the same rpms to try again using the cache option. yes it will take about a week to tweak to your hearts content but when you get it just right, come F11 or F time your laughing just roll-up a new spin.

Not everything just:

texlive uses restorecon :-( your only option is to rebuild without it
if your handy with a spec file depends on how bad you need to purge

Don't panic I'm building my own now as 4.0.4 was old before it hit the mirrors & if you think 4.1 will be any less stable than 4.0.4(which isn't stable btw) maybe I have more faith in kde development than you. ...dex -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Well consider if you dont push it F9 will be in some sort of kde4 development limbo with one gear => reverse, which is were I'm now. F9 its been a pos unfinished X underneath unfinished kde thats not bleeding edge thats a haemorrhage. I'll stop there and be back for kde 4.5 & F13. ...dex -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
