I've recently upgraded from SuSE 8.2 to 9.0 and after the update no Gnome application work. The menus are displayed, minus any text, any error messages don't display any text, etc.
Sounds like a problem with Pango, no doubt a result of the change in prefix for it (and the other GTK+ related libraries) between 8.2 and 9.0. Make sure you have the SUSE supplied versions of glib2 atk and pango and either the SUSE or ULB gtk2 installed, then run SuSEconfig (if you do the install using YaST - it'll run SuSEconfig for you) -- 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).
