I have a problem that makes nearly every gnome application unusable. I run sid. Shortly after sarge was released, my problem appeared. Galeon dies whenever a try to save a file (but Mozilla works fine). Totem dies as soon as I open any file (but xine can open the files just fine.) Nearly every gnome app is disabled in some way, and no non-gnome apps are affected. I assumed this was normal, temporary sid breakage but it has persisted for weeks, so now I think it is corruption of some of my gnome configuration file(s).
Here is, for example, what totem prints as it attempts to start: ** (totem:5907): WARNING **: Error in parse: Error on line 4488 char 10: Document ended unexpectedly inside the close tag for element 'Groups' Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and/or how I might solve it? I have already deleted .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf and every other hidden .g* directory in my home directory in an attempt to get gnome to re-generate them. (At the risk of planting my foot in my mouth: weren't people worried when gnome introduced a registry system? And didn't the gnome people say "don't worry, this is an XML registry, not a DB registry, so it will all be okay". But can't an XML data file get corrupted just as well as a DB data file?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
