Well, in my short experience i have found all the packages required to
work with gnome, in http://xmlsoft.org you can find the libxml source
code, of course you must have a c compiler and other utilities needed to
build a package from source code.

Hope this help
Best regards & sorry about my poor english

*Upgrade*? Did u install _over 2.2? Bad idea

I have no views either, it just works. Thumbnailers should be listed in
gconf: gnome->desktop->thumbnailers. Be aware that they eat *lots* of
CPU


If using garnome to upgrade to 2.4 isn't the right and best way, what other
way do I have?  Do you suggest install redhat without gnome and use garnome
to install gnome?  Should I install without X?  Or do I install X with KDE?
How much cpu power is *lots*?  I'm using a PIII 1.0 with 256 MB memory.
Would that be tolerable?  Also, do you think it might be because it's an
upgrade that's why it may not be enabled by default?  Further research told
me that Gnome 2.2 already supports this, but when I installed Redhat 9.0, it
doesn't show.  What distro are you talking about that has this enabled by
default?  What other dependencies did you install?

Where can I find gconf: gnome->desktop->thumbnailers   ???  Am new to linux
(NEWBIE :-)  )

At least in my little corner of Boston. Join us again in irc.gnome.org's
#bugs to pound on bugzilla and help bring the bug count in the right
direction.

If you haven't heard of Bug Day before, but are curious, lots of
questions and answers are on our web page at
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/faq.html#II

The most important thing is that bug day is a great way for virtually
everyone with 1/2 hour on their hands to contribute to GNOME, even in a
small way.

Hours tomorrow will be 0900EST (1500GMT) and when I have to leave for
class (probably around 1700EST, 2300GMT.) Others may be around later.

Hope to see lots of people there-
Luis

Hi,

libxml2 was shipped with Solaris before GNOME (and so before
pkgconfig) Therefore the .pc was not included originally.
You need one of these patches depending on your Solaris version:

	114014-03, 114015-03, 114814-01, 114815-01

HTH,

Laca

I just installed gnome 2.4 with Gentoo.  I've noticed a couple of things
that are somewhat irrating off-hand.
1. When moving to workspaces it would be nice to wrap-around
workspaces.  I.E. When moving to the right, 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1
,etc...
2. The same as #1 but in gnome-terminal, moving between tabs.
3. In Evolution, can you alter the email headers layout?  I would prefer
to remove certain headers from being displayed.

  Kurt

The correct place to put wishes/bugs is in bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for the workspaces thing and gnome-terminal,
and http://bugzilla.ximian.com for Evolution) Please do search the
corresponding databases, as (at least the first 2 of) those wishes are
already there: even though bugzilla is not vote-based, you may find out
what has been discussed abut those points.

Cheers,
