I just did an upgrade install to SuSE 10 (from DVD). So far everything works, but I do have one interesting anomaly with jpilot in that I am unable to set the color. Jpilot has 4 color schemes, steel, blue, purple and blue, but on my upgraded system, it only displays steel. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
Just a guess - you are using KDE - correct? JPilot from SuSE 10.0 uses gtk2. Therefore, I believe your question was probably answered in an excellent post earlier today by Anand Buddhdev dealing with a Firefox issue. That post in part follows ... -------------------------- I guess you're using the KDE desktop. Firefox uses GTK, so it won't use the font settings you specify in KDE's control panel. You need to install the control-center2 rpm first. Once installed, go to the KDE menu, then Utilities, then Desktop, and then choose the gnome desktop configuration tool. Look for the font settings, and change them to suit your style. Now, when you start firefox, it will use those fonts. You must also ensure that the gnome-settings-daemon is started up each time you log into KDE. Go into your .kde/Autostart directory, and create a soft link from /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon to this directory, so that the next time you start KDE, the gnome fonts you chose are applied. I was pulling my hair out over this, until I stumbled upon this solution via Google. I think this should be an FAQ entry.

Thanks Richard, JPilot does use gtk2 (I assume gtk2 not gtk), but both are installed including the gnome control centre 2. I'll try that and see what happens. I currently have a build going and I cannot restart KDE, but I do have the daemon running,, but no luck on the colors for jpilot. I'll try this in the morning since my build will probably continue for the next hour or two. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

This has no affect on the issue. I was not able to restart KDE because I had a remove Citrix session going at the time. I also upgraded to SuSE 10 at home with the same problem. Jpilot's colors under SuSE 9.3 worked where I only have 1 color (more specifically theme) on SuSE 10. However, when I bring up GNOME, I do get the appropriate color schemes for jpilot. The only difference between environment variables that should affect jpilot is that KDE does not export GNOMEDIR and GNOME does, but setting GNOMEDIR on KDE then running jpilot in that environment has not affect.
