I had previously been using SuSE GNOME RPMs from
http://www.tu-harburg.de/skf/Pub/ifmpc118.ifm.uni-hamburg.de/gnome.html
(the link from the www.gnome.org web page).
Over the weekend I thought I'd try upgrading to the new SuSE built ones
(the above link) - most of the packages are newer, however, one or two
(mainly Enlightenment) are older :(
I started off just doing rpm -Uh's but soon found out this wasn't going to
work due to name differences. So I went through all of the rpms I had
originally installed and erased them (rpm -e) in the opposite order to
which I'd installed them (otherwise they complain about broken
dependencies). I then installed all the rpms from the SuSE site without any
trouble. I didn't bother to install Enlightenment and I removed my 0.15
install (I prefer to using windowmaker with gnome).
Good news is it installed OK. Bad news is GNOME won't start correctly from
KDM :( In fact running yast caused gnome and wmaker to be removed from the
session list in KDM. I added them by hand (well using the KDE control
center). Window maker runs fine now on it's own, but when you log on for a
gnome session it doesn't start any window manager, just plain X and so you
have to start windowmaker by hand (wmaker). Anyone know how to fix this? In
the gnome control center I have windowmaker setup as the window manager but
it's not starting it up when I log on.
The only other problems I had was I lost all my gnome panel settings
(anyone know why, was it 'cos I uninstalled gnome?) and there weren't as
many icons in the SuSE builds (?).
I'd recommend going to the new SuSE builds as everything seems to be there
- unless you want the latest and greatest Enlightenment that is.
