Question pclinuxos gnome- adesklets/wireless/compiz


hi everyone..

I decided to change from suse10.3 and have a look on pclinuxos the gnome version... The change was ok although there are some things i missed from my old distribution. The one is the compiz-fusion and the nvidia driver which was very easy for me with suse... with pclinuxos whenever i install the nvidia driver (after instalation every icon on desktop is bigger and somehow I cannot make it smaller) thru synaptics although the OS does not recognize any errors and lets me enable the 3D effects... nothing happens.
A second thing was when I installed adesklets thru synaptics then i run on a command ´adesklets --nautilus´ but nothing happens... I am sure i miss something here (do not know what... but surely i miss!), so pls guys can u give me ur lights here coz i tried on the web but was not so clearly..

Last but not least (and very important) is that with suse my wireless was easy although with ndiswrapper... PclinuxOs recognize my wireless card and although i configured it with ndiswrapper or as is... the eth1 keep not to be active (the light of the wifi on my pc is on and working properly). can i replace the network-manager that suse is using with the net-applet tha pclinuxOS is????

My notebook- hp dv2000- amd turion64x2- broadcom wireless 1390 dell corp.- nvidia GeForce 6150 @pclinuxosgmone edition

thanks in advance guys (although 1 year no Micro$oft addict, still newbie)

Solution

The problem is that the numerical values of variables are too long in config.txt.
E.G. variables that have values like 0.10000001, 0.00000003 are causing problems.

All you have to do is shorten the values down to 0.1, 0, and so on.

Mine looks like this:

id0 = {'bar_background_1': 'AAAAAA',
'bar_background_2': None,
'bar_foreground': '000000',
'bar_gradient_angle': 0,
'bar_height': 32,
'bar_opacity_1': 100,
'bar_opacity_2': None,
'caption_above': True,
'caption_color': 'AAAAAA',
'caption_delay': 0.0,
'caption_fade_in': False,
'caption_fade_in_duration': 0.5,
'caption_fade_in_steps': 10,
'caption_font': 'Vera',
'caption_size': 20,
'click_effect': '',
'click_effect_duration': 0,
'icon_max_height': 128,
'icon_max_width': 128,
'icon_maximize_threshold': 0,
'icon_min_height': 64,
'icon_min_width': 64,
'icon_spacing': 5,
'icons': [('firefox.png', 'Firefox', 'firefox'),
('terminal.png', 'Terminal', 'xterm')]}
