I've just finished installing Gnome 1.4 and it went mostly well after some
tweaking here and there. But here are some issues I'm strugling with (for
the record I'm using 4.3-STABLE)

Galeon:

Where is my scrollbar? Beside the missing scrollbars everything seems to
work. 

Read on the Galeon-mailinglist of a similar problem, though the problem
seemed to stem from at bad mozilla-build (rpm). Mine is freshly build from
ports, so... anyone experienced the same and found a solution?

Mozilla:

Why on earth does mozilla insist on installing everything in
~/.mozilla/username/jibberish/? In the "old" days it justed installed it
in ~/.mozilla and the bookmark import/export function af Galeon seems to
imply that that's should be the case.

How do I "fix" that?

Panel:

Weirdest thing. The Panel would crash everytime I started Gnome.... for
some users... and for some not. Tried removing everything gnome-related in
homedir. Tried removing *everything* in homedir. Tried removing everyting
in /tmp. Nothing helped.

But removing *everything* in homedir *and* /tmp ... and everything works.
That just doesn't make any sense to me!

Sound:

ESD is running, but I don't get any systemsounds. Not even
testing/previewing them in ControlCenter works (the samples *are*
installed). XMMS, whose output is set to esd, works though as does
everybuddy. Am I missing something here?

Sawfish/Crux Theme:

Boy, I really like this new default-theme. Though one minor issue bugs me,
I can't change the "Accent color". So I'm stuck with a grey/grey
focus/unfocus colorscheme....

Apart from all of this Gnome 1.4 seems pretty sleek. Nice to be able to
use it again! ,)
