Yes, that was one of the things which I ran into just after starting gnome. Others were crashes with font selection dialogs, and the sawfish configurator, a totally broken gdm (well, I only tried once, I'd preferred xdm with a manual gnome-session invocation anyways) and frequent short freezes of the desktop when nautilus was doing DNS lookups or ftp logins (this might not actually be a bug as such but more of a misdesign annoyance, that the filemanager also controls other parts of the UI.) >I haven't seen an arg list too long error yet when building gnome2, and >I just did it from scratch again yesterday.

I always do: > ># cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 ># make clean ># make install clean Since that failed for me before the last try (before the final gnome 2.0 update, it just did nothing) I had used portinstall instead, which at least compiled the stuff. --mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
