Gnome 2

[Dan A. Milisic]

I was using Metacity (The default, Sawfish is getting left behind
anyway) and had to play around with xft to get AA looking good.  This is
an issue with the 0.18 versions and IIRC 0.17.1 doesn't put you through
as much grief with regards to font setup.  0.18.x Synced with Gnome
2.1-devel whereas 0.17.x Synced with Gnome 2.0.2.  

If you're getting [make] errors pay close attention to them for a clue
as to what deps are missing.  

Good luck,
D.

Did you get sawfish as your window manager? I managed to get it going
once but I didn't have anti aliased fonts nor sawfish. I tried switching
from metacity but it still didn't work. I'm re-installing YDL 2.3 for
the last time, and I'd tell you if it works.

I don't know if you've tried this already, but there's more a more
recent version of Garnome at

older version, 0.15.0

I managed to get Garnome 0.18.3 running under a 'Recommended' YDL
install, but I think Garnome 0.17.1 is advised for best stability.
0.18.3 seemed a little flaky on my system, but in fairness I haven't
spent a lot of time playing with it.  It was more of a 'see if it works'
exercise rather than trying to do anything productive.

Now that I have a taste of what *good* AA fonts look like in Gnome2, and
how much better asthetics and performance are compared to Gnome 1.4, I'm
anxiously awaiting for a certain LinuxPPC vendor to more/less sync-up
with RH8. ;)

HTH,
D.

I think I've had it! I've spent the last 9 days trying to compile Gnome
2 with the instructions on the YDL website and it still doesn't work
even after a fresh install. I've installed as many components as I can
(I only have 3 gigs for Linux) but I still can't get YDL + gnome on my
2002 iBook. Could someone please help me out, or tell me where I could
find binaries? I like Linux, but compiling a program and recompiling
over and over again is not fun.

Thanks.
