Hello SuSE'rs! I just updated the Ximian Evolution program, when trying to open it I get: *Cannot initialize the Evolution shell: configuration Database not found*. Anyone got a solution on how to fix this?
All the best, Helgi Örn OK, I fixed that one myself, Evolution works fine after rebooting. But Gnome doesn't start at all! I installed Ximian with it's wonderful *on

Gnome just seems to be dead even though the applications work from KDE. Changed rc.config to KDM but choosing Gnome from there still only starts KDE! Anyone here who's tried Ximian?

To get a version of Gnome, other than the versions provided by SuSE, to work on SuSE you will need to change the session name from "gnome" (this is what SuSE uses) to "gnome-session". Generally from the KDE control centre -> Session Manager remove the session named "gnome" then add a new session named "gnome-session". This should bring up Gnome when requested instead of using the default of KDE. Regarding the change to GDM from KDM, usually on the install from Ximian, after the files have been downloaded, there is a screen that asks if you want to use GDM or retain your existing display manager. This screen is set to default to GDM unless you specifically turn it off. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?
