I have had a great deal of trouble with the upgrade to 2.18. Printing does not work reliably in Abiword or Gnumeric and I cannot access any of the admin functions from within Gnome. So I rebuilt the entire system, starting with the kernel and world. I deleted Gnome by the method mentioned in the FAQ, and reinstalled it, X11, and all of the gtk applications. Unfortunately the problems remain. I am now on 2.18.1 and 6.2-R-p3; all ports are up-to-date. I use CUPS to print from a print server, and cups-lpr has always worked in the past. It does work on every application other than Abiword and Gnumeric (that I have tested since the rebuild, at least). The print preview is erratic -- it works sometimes and not others. I am unable to set page margins in Gnumeric, and printing always crashes. The admin functions return "Cannot access admin functions" when in 2.16.x the root password was requested. Needless to say, this severely limits what I am able to do, and advice on how to set this right would be most appreciated. I'd be happy to provide additional information if the proper suggestions are given. Frank
