Re: [gentoo-user] gnome-2.16.3 - problems with the desktop not painting - no icons or wallpaper
Mark Knecht wrote: I don't see anything very strange in top while the splash panel is up. Somewhere along the way the panel finishes waiting for whatever it's waiting for, I see a flashing dialog window that cannot be read, and then I have the desktop with nothing on it. Just the panel at the bottom. I got behavior like this recently when I updated libexif and failed to do a revdep-rebuild... is that possible? -- C.

I also don't know what my horizontal and vertical sync are because it's not in my documentation and when I used ddxcinfo-knoppix -hsync, it returns 0 0 and ddcxinfo-knoppix -modlines doesn't have a corresponding mode for my monitor - the resolution is 1920x1200. Coleen, I've had no luck getting the framebuffer console to recognize 16:9 aspect ratios. My XPS M1710 boots up to a 1600x1200 console and then starts X to go to full 1920x1200 resolution.

Re: [gentoo-user] Compiz keeps putting titlebars under gnome-panel
Mark David Dumlao wrote: I have a button on my desktop that runs compiz-start if compiz is off and metacity --replace if compiz is off. I'm having fun playing wtih this thing except one annoying feature is when I switch from metacity to compiz all existing windows are bumped up by one titlebar's worth. this means that all windows that are maximized or at the top will have their titlebars undder the gnome-panel. I had this problem as well. I ended up fixing it by removing /home/user/.gconf/apps/compiz, restarting X without compiz, and making sure decoration was in my active_plugins before starting compiz again. I'm not sure what part fixed it, but it hasn't reappeared. -- C.
