I don't know which rpms came from third parties, though -- how could I determine that? The only gnome initialization I have is /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gnome-vfs2, and that seems to be necessary since it belongs to the gnome-vfs2 package and lots of things (like gimp) depend on that package. I wonder if /opt/gnome/gtk2 might have been copied rather than moved to /usr. Another perhaps more likely possibility is that in my thrashing around I reinstalled gnome-compat and that in turn restored /opt/gnome/gtk2. I certainly did not do anything explicit to create it. Unfortunately I don't have any backups of those earlier systems. I don't even remember for sure which ones I ever had and which were installed as upgrades rather than afresh. I realize it's not practical to check for every bit of leftover cruft from previous versions, but the number of contexts where such leftovers actually do harm may be limited. In particular, /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.* could be checked for items that don't belong to any package, and search paths could be checked for obsolete or missing components. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
