Hello All, I hope someone can help me. First of all, none of my Gnome applications work including Mozilla. I have installed Mozilla by rpm only and it seems that my problems begin when I installed other themes for Mozilla. Here is what happens if I try to run a program through a terminal window in KDE: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_type_class_add_private I don't have a clue what this means, but it could be my problem. Here is also what happens if I try to run Gnumeric from a terminal screen in KDE: ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/file/history/n' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '4' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/plugins/activate-new' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value 'true' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/screen/horizontaldpi' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '96' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/screen/verticaldpi' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '96' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/workbook/n-sheet' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '3' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/window/x' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '0.6' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/window/y' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '0.6' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/window/zoom' ** (gnumeric:4892): WARNING **: Using default value '1' gnumeric: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/gnome/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_type_class_add_private Also since day one I have been unable to burn CDs with my Combo Drive both audio and data.
