Thanks - I am one of the guys from tinycorelinux. Looking at the arch deps for gnome-shell, the only one missing is libgsystem, so I'll try that. It's not so obvious to remove gnome-shell, mutter, etc as they were all compiled from source (and in exactly the same way as those from gnome-3.10.x, which works on the same laptop and the same version of tinycorelinux). _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
