From: "Hal V. Engel" <hvengel@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2005 17:46:17 -0800 I probably should have said that I believed that the problems I had=20 with GTK 2.4 were likely caused by the RPMs I was using (user local=20 bin) as I had not tried building it myself. So this is a SuSE 9.1=20 specific problem. There have been some rather lengthly discussions=20 about this on a SuSE forum that I frequent and some users are able to=20 install this using these RPMs with no problems and others encounter=20 significant problems. It appears to be about 50/50 odds. No one=20 seems to know why. =20 Interesting. I had no problem with the usr-local-bin RPM's for GTK 2.4. BTW, are you running KDE? One thing that comes to mind is that by default in SUSE KDE installs a GTK theme; you can try turning that off by creating a file (zero length is fine) in your home directory named ".no-qtrc-to-gtkrc-mapping" (no quotes, of course). As it happens, I'd really like to run GTK 2.6, if for no other reason than the horrible browser dialog in 2.4, and perhaps it's worth trying again. Also I was not asking that you stop moving forward as I specificly said=20 in my earlier note to not worry about my problem and to go forward. I=20 will try building 2.6 from source in the next few days and if I run=20 into a problem I will ask for assistance. Agreed -- I consider Sven's note to be an FYI and I certainly don't think that my comment should have been interpreted as asking Sven not to do this. It was just a comment since I noticed other people using SUSE 9.1 having problems with this. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
