Don't know about Ximian's version, but the normal Gnome2 desktop does have a Screensaver control in the Control Center.
well - i'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. how do you set it up manually?
Can't help, I'm afraid - does Ximian offer support or FAQs for this sort of thing?
2. why do all the fonts look bigger than in kde even more so for kde applications?
This has come up on the list before, I think - try searching the archives.
i've searched but the problem isn't the same. as far as i can see people complained that some fonts are too small in gnome, while exactly the opposite is true in ximian.
But would the same solution work (setting the dpi, IIRC)? The values might differ, but the technique could still work.
trying to mount CD/ DVD in ximian gives Couldn't find "automount:///media/dvd". Please check the spelling and try again.
Aha. Try just doing "mount /media/dvd" from a terminal. If that works, then you know it *should* work from the desktop. Then, try opening /media in nautilus and mount the dvd from there. This should show that nautilus is not at fault. That narrows it down just to this "automount://" thing, which isn't a Gnome standard AFAIK. You might need to ask at ximian again to resolve it.
4. talking thereof - is there any chance of watching dvd's on ximin?
Use whatever app you use under KDE - MPlayer, xine, ogle...
well that doesn't work either. i get -Xine engine error:There is no input plugin available to handle dvd:/. Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.
From the sound of this, it seems that various Ximian-specific things aren't set up properly on your system. But I've never used Ximian (I've stuck with
How are you launching this? Try just running xine from a terminal, them accessing the DVD from there (pressing the DVD button in Xine's controller). the SuSE-supplied Gnome2 desktop, which is pretty good). Perhaps someone else here with experience in that are could help...
