Since these are both "gnome" apps you will need to install gnome-control-center and make the appropriate mods there.
On day, perhaps, there will be three types of software for Linus 1. KDE software like KDE, Konqueror, Kmail and Koffice 2. Gnome software ... Or perhaps that should be expressed more generally to include Enlightenment et al. These will build on common libraries, common GUI libraries and then libraries specific to the window manager. So that if you want a Gnome system you can have a pure Gnome system so long as you don't install something like Konqueror. And similarly for KDE. Then there will be the window manager agnostic software .. 3. The window-manager agnostic software has no dependencies on any specific window manager libraries or control packages. Category #3 OUGHT to include things like, yes, you guessed it, * Thunderbird * Firefox and * GIMP * Some CD/DVD burner * Music/video players. If RealPlayer and AdobeReader can be 'agnostic' enough to run on MAC, Windows and Linux ... and Mozilla can run on those platforms too, why does Mozilla have to be tied in to Gnome? Why do KDE users have to install gnome-control-center for Mozilla? Why is Mozilla a gnome application and not 'agnostic'? Is this ignorance, arrogance or is it something that is impossible? Enquiring minds might not want to know but it seems there are many frustrated users who might. -- The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive. -- John Sladek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
