i've searched but the problem isn't the same. as far
as i can see people complained that some fonts are too
small in gnome, while exactly the opposite is true in
ximian.

trying to mount CD/ DVD in ximian gives
Couldn't find "automount:///media/dvd". Please check

well that doesn't work either. i get
-Xine engine error:There is no input plugin available

file/stream source doesn't exist.

ideas?
