Switched from 1.4 to 2.whatever last night, and I'm having a few
problems. 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.
