[gentoo-user] Windowmaker Woes
Hi all, I've just set up a shiny new AMD64 box, and I can't get many apps (mozilla, firefox, openoffice, wprefs, etc.) to run properly in windowmaker. Open Office crashes, I can't see the windows with mozilla and firefox, and wprefs just dies without an error message. And, of course, everything works fine in gnome and fluxbox. Would anyone happen to know what might be going on?

[gentoo-user] Nautilus and Windowmaker
Hi all, I've got this bright, shiny new AMD64 box with Gnome and Windowmaker installed. Nautilus runs fine in Gnome. When I run it in Windowmaker, I get the following error when it crashes with the following message: Bad Pixmap (invalid pixmap parameter) Details: serial 516 error_code 4 request_code 2 minor_code 0 I've got 2 other boxen running the same versions of Windowmaker and Gnome which work fine. I did, however, install GNUStep on this box. Anyone have any idea what might be happening? -- Dennis Soper[EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator Facilities Services-- The University of Oregon 1276 University of Oregon phone: 541-346-2286 Eugene, OR 97403 fax:541-346-2299 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I just roll my eyes back, tell them I've administered Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, and Free and OpenBSD. Next, I tell them the reason I use Gentoo is because it's so easy to keep updated, especially as compared to RPM-based distros. If they don't believe me, then I do a system update in front of them.
