I have installed the packages from usr-local-bin for Gnome and I have to say is that I like what James has done! Apart from a few issues listed below that I need help with, I might be a Gnome convert. Please help me with these few issues. The first issue is that it seems like Gnome doesn't like to talk to CUPS. Gnome sees that I have a printer setup but it will not allow any changes to the printer. For example, I cannot change resolution, paper size, etc... The print dialogue does not even report the info about the printer. IE the location, status, etc... The printer is a networked on a server that is running CUPS. Is there a way to get Gnome to better work with CUPS? Suggestions?? The second issue is how do I change the color of some of the objects in Gnome? Like the window decoration, menu bar, etc..... I know that the themes can do this but I was wanting to know if there was a way to do this with a GUI like one can in KDE. Or is this one thing that you must do with the config files and a editor? Ok the last one is how do I remove a item from the menu? Does Gnome have a menu editor? Sorry for my ignorance with the Gnome desktop but I have not really used it and I would like to learn. Thanks in advance. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
