I installed everything remotely font-like, here's the list: [zaitcev@niphredil zaitcev]$ rpm -qa '*[Ff]ont*' fontconfig-2.2.1-6.1 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-syriac-fonts-4.3.0-42 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9 chkfontpath-1.9.10-2 bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-2 bitmap-fonts-0.3-2 fontconfig-devel-2.2.1-6.1 bitmap-fonts-cjk-0.3-2 fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-5 fonts-ja-8.0-9 XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-55 urw-fonts-2.1-5.1 ttfonts-ja-1.2-29 fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-5 XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-55 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/zaitcev [zaitcev@niphredil zaitcev]$ > I found a way to make the applet go blank though: closing a > different window while in Japanese (kana) mode causes the > applet to go blank for me. I wonder if this is related? I suspect we are entering an area where a more developer-oriented feedback might be useful. I cringe every time when people follow a blackbox approach to kernel failures when a simple look at the code would explain them. The difficulty in this case is that the userland is hideously complex. I am willing to look at this in better detail, but I need a mentor. Do you know a GNOME hacker who would be willing to guide me? Thanks, -- Pete
