Linux distribution is caos. :) Similar to Debian from the community aspect
(however nowhere near as large and very young), yet based on RPM.

Since I am the one packaging Gnome for the caos distribution (unless someone 
with more Gnome experience wants to take over or help out), I am guessing that
it is a compilation problem. Maybe a certain package or devel package was not
installed when I compiled one of the base components thus it did not
autoconfigure that support. Another idea is that it is just the order of how
things were installed.

Any thoughts?

Hrmm, sorry I have not used Debian in about 3.5 years now... ;)

Thanks however for the help!
