That only a few people attended to the BSD talk are in my opinion the following points: - the usability of Gnome 2.x has decreased since Gnome 1.4, e.g. the association between files and applications; how do I make an association between a StarCalc-File and StarOffice. With Gnome 1.4 it was easy: mime-type editor. On Gnome 2.x ??? Yes you can say right mouse button and so on. But the entry is not "StarOffice - Calc", it is "staroffice". That looks awful! And how do I remove such an entry??? - Adding fonts: How? Command line?=20 - Adding entries to the applications-menu in an installation script; How? - problems in using gettext in self-written applications (currently I'm fighting with that in an own application without success) I know it is not FreeBSD specific, but Gnome 2.x does not have such acceptance because of some points I wrote above. Why do I use Gnome 2.x? I love Gnome! I remembers me on the OS/2-GUI "Workplace Shell" :-) Best regards any again many thanks for porting Gnome to FreeBSD J=C3=BCrgen Dankoweit --=-/VQqLbwe9ZdDSbWAuAL9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBChmILoKqsUmo8Y68RAlrbAJ9MKkvnRVGhFTo0NgScAbQe45vWcgCfd9Zt IqQXAFUrnZibdE+YQJIe/HI= =b5N6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-/VQqLbwe9ZdDSbWAuAL9--
