Hi guys,

I've installed gnome-2.5 on my laptop running freebsd-5.2 current (Sat
Dec 27 16:31 2003). There are issues with the installation and I don't
know if its gnome's fault or freebsd. I'll just list it down here:

1. I can't logout. When i clicked "log out" at Actions menu, nothing 
   happens. The mouse is working but if i click on anything, there is no
   response. There is a gnome_segv running while running top from
   another pc sshed to my laptop. I either have to press
   "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" or kill gnome_segv2 to get to the gdm login
   screen.
2. I can't use key-bindings on gnome-terminal while the menu bar is
   hidden.
3. Desktop icons of 'Computer' and 'Trash' has a 'no permission to
   write' emblems. See picture attached.
4. Rhythmbox can't play music when sound server is enabled on startup
   (esd is running). To play music, I need to either not enable sound
   server during startup or kill esd.
5. Razor config dir and log file is installed on / dir.
6. I think this is an evolution bug but I'll just mention it here, if I
   clicked on Tools->Settings, another evolution window will appear with
   the settings window.

I still haven't compile gnome2-fifth-toe yet.

I provide a screenshot of my desktop (1400x1050 res and 669k). You can
view it at http://webpages.mmu.edu.my/nawfal/Screenshot.png.

Thanks
