I'm just experimenting with GNOME -- I've never tried it before. I downloaded some of the packages from the staging area.
Query: how do I start it? I ran panel and got a nice panel. Later I ran gnome-session, which told me that panel was already running and asked if I want another. I restarted everything and just ran gnome-session, and eventually I get a solid colour background and gnome-help but no panel. What's the best window manager to use to? I installed enlightment (never used this before either!) and all I get from it is a bar up the top. No default configuration? Strange. My xinitrc so far says #!/bin/bash export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin enlightenment & gnome-session & xterm Please help me make this do something useful. :-) thanks, Hamish (diehard fvwm2 user) -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.
