I'm using blackbox-0.62.0-gjb1 under RH72.
In evolution-1.0.3-2 I cannot click URLs to open them in a browser. Can
this be done?
My friend running GNOME can do this... Is Evolution too Gnome specific?

I've been using Sylpheed a few days now and have been very happy with it.
Ximian's Evolution is quite nice too, but it is a bit unstable (my friend
told me that it has frozen his X a few times).
Cheers,

This seems not be an option with RH71. I downloaded from rpmfind.net
the xli-1.

Okay, I fixed my problem without touching the style files... It seems that
working with the /etc/X11/fs/config was enough. Why I didn't get it working
right away was that I tried to apply the changes by restarting X while I
should have been restarting xfs :)

On my RH7.0 laptop with 800x600 resolution I find the fonts too large. How can
I make them smaller?
I tried to edit the /etc/X11/fs/config file and change the default-point-size
value to a smaller one, but that did not affect Blackbox in any way.

A friend of installed Blackbox and now he is complaining that the mouse
moves terribly slow. Is there a way to enhance it's movement?

Maybe XFCE should really compared to GNOME / KDE, because it provides a

Because that's what it's for. People tend to search information from the

What is the -bg option for then?

I stand corrected.

I've downloaded and got aterm-0.4.0 running in my RH 6.2 box.
How do I configure the beast? What I want is transparent backgrounds. I
tried the +tr command line switch, but it only gave me the basic white
background. Should I use bsetroot to set the background color first? How do
I use bsetroot?
And I'm gettint pissed off by you people who get pissed off... :)
There is nothing wrong if one makes suggestions. And all the suggestions
we've see on the list have been politely written. After all, all they are is
_suggestions_. If one behaves himself there is always room for conversation.

My question is:
Is there an RPM of this somewhere?
To stop me sending these kind of questions, answer the next question instead:
I'm a newbie. I know how to compile blackbox and get it running. But I don't
know how to remove or upgrade my own compiled programs. How does one do these
things?
