Thought I'd ask here (is there somewhere more apropos for this? I imagine that as Gnome2 becomes more of an accepted standard -questions will be a better mailing list, but in the meantime..): 1. I'm running GDM; it seems *very* slow. Very very very. After switching to the GDM screen on bootup or logout, it takes up to 10 seconds for the username/password dialog to accept input. After giving a valid username/password, it takes up to 15 seconds to show the little 'Gnome' splash screen as it loads my desktop. I probably have something left over from 1.4; I did a cursory job of uninstalling my old ports (for instance, I didn't clean out old gdm.conf files), but I don't know where to look to see if this is the case. 2. For some reason all my windows are set to opaque drag. As far as I can tell this is a Gnome setting (I switched to metacity from sawfish, and back, with the same effect), but I can't find a toggle anywhere for this. I'd like to have windows be outline-drag and outline-move, but I really can't find a switch anywhere. 3. Is there any way to set anti-aliasing globally? i.e., not in my ~/.gnomerc file, but in some global gnomerc file. Other than these little niggly bits, I'm really happy with the switch. The instructions on the FreeBSD Gnome site were clear and concise -- congratulations on a mammoth porting effort. - a. --------------060306050307010804070609 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Switched from 1.4 to 2.whatever last night, and I'm having a few problems.
