Hmmm I've been getting strange behavior when dialing up isp with kppp, - at the instant of loging on, the entire X-screen completly blanks for about 1 second, then recovers. I first noticed this the day after installing kde2.1-updates, from SuSE's LinuKS directory. It seems to happen in all window managers kde.kde2,windowmaker,fvwm2, and gnome. My gnome is still the older version, the one from SuSE70 CD's . I'm using suse2.4.2 - clone-config'd kernel - ati video-card-X-stock-mach64 driver . I never had problems with video blanking before though. bet it's something that nobody has answers to as of yet !! ; - just checking in on this - John WM

Before we blast GNOME for it's supposed shortcomings, it should be pointed out that the KDE rpms at SuSE's LinuKS site are not up to date either. They too produce problems. Perhaps the packagers are having terrific difficulty making the RPM's. In any event I do not think it is a GNOME problem exclusively. I also have a suspicion that the nVIDIA drivers, whether they be nv or from nVIDIA, play a role in these problems. Just my $0.02.

Ya, that's what turned my user directory into a file and hosed my dcop server. I install 1.4 and Nautilus setup and took over - and I mean took over. After that I had a case of creeping corruption. One by one directory, files, and services started to become corrupt. I had to re-install the OS because it became apparent that it was only a matter of time until the whole fs would go into the sh#ter. Frankly, I was never a huge fan of Gnome, now I avoid it.
Just my 2 U.S. cents Curtis

I just tried to use the gnome 1.4 packages from the SuSE ftp site....opinion..just as crappy as usual.
Anyone got this to work right..mine just keeps telling me the Desktop pager applet has died and then the whole desktop blinks..no shit..blinks. Nautilus won't complete it's setup and after a while of this blinking the whole thing dies and goes back to the prompt. Nice. Very nice.
