Gnome 2.12 questions


I upgraded Gnome from 2.10.0 to 2.12.1 via Yum (Fedora) quite a long time ago. I have a few questions here:

1. In Gnome 2.10, when you did a right click on the desktop you had the option "Open Terminal". It's gone on 2.12. Is there any way to get it back?
2. The graphical login screen always crashes. How do I fix that? I don't really like the GTK greeter..
3. The High scores in the games don't work anymore. The lists are empty, and everytime I get a score it always says: "Unfortunately you didn't reach a high score". Did anyone experience this or know how to fix it?

Thanks a lot

If you have gnome-panel running, you can get a menu by pressing Alt+F1; not as quick as a mouse click sometimes, admittedly!

You could try the plain (non-graphical) version (configure using "gdmsetup"), or change to xdm or kdm.

HTH,

I guess I just had to put a Desktop shortcut. Not as good as the right-click-menu thingy though..

As I said, I don't really like the non-graphical version.. I think I need to edit /etc/X11/gdm.conf. But how, that's my question

Thanks a lot!

That sounds familiar. I had problems with gdm-2.8.0.0 crashing. I think the problem went away when I changed the build order. I think the solution was to build pygtk after libglade, then it built a gtk.glade backend and gdm was happy
