IS festival speaking to you when you start gnopernicus?If it isn't try passing a variable before starting. export FESTIVAL=1 The gnopernicus compilation was actually for a friend on his system with some outside help. We did get it working, but since my friend is out of town for a few days I won't be able to fully test it until he returns. If I get it working as well as the main menu program I'll be happy to send you the ~/.gconf/app/gnopernicus directory.
