Running ULB Gnome for a day now on SuSE 9.0 Pro, giving me two whole days of experience with Gnome... It is very clean and much faster than KDE (thank you James.) But, the learning curve is a bit steep for me.
Glad you like it, tell your friends :)
1. Is there a Gnome equivalent of the KDE "Open Terminal Here" function for Nautilus? I use a lot of deeply nested folders, and it's nice to get a terminal opened at the current directory down where I need it. Besides, my typing isn't as accurate as it used to be! ;-)
You can do this with Nautilus' scripting ability, you should be able to find an appropriate script (along with loads of others) at http://g-scripts.sf.net/
nautilus --no-desktop "/data/documents/The Folder I Want To Open". This works in that Nautilus opens, but when I close the folder, the Nautilus-throbber process crashes pretty consistently (1 every 3-4 times).
Can't replicate this, if you run that command from a terminal, is there any useful output when it crashes?
3. I run dual monitors driven by a Matrox G450. In KDE, the workspace switcher on the bottom panel configures itself uniquely for each desktop. (I like to name each workspace with the name of the anchor application running in that space. In KDE, if I had four workspaces on each monitor, I could have eight uniquely named workspaces.) In Gnome, the workspaces are named identically on both monitors. Is this configurable?
Really don't know about this one, I suspect it has to do with how GNOME and KDE deal with Xinerama - might be worth Googling around those search terms... -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
