Carson, "We" care... [:-)] Normal users??? I will leave that one alone... Mixed environment??? I have three different versions of GARNOME [2.14.x, 2.16.x, 2.17.x] running on a PowerMac with YDL-4.1, an FC4 clone that came with GNOME-2.10.x. Our friend Stef, who is a valued contributor to the GARNOME project, was just voicing his frustrations with the unstable branch. Maybe the IRC channel would be a better venue, but "we" take no offense. This is life on the bleeding edge. -Joseph ============================================================== On Wed, 2006-11-22 at 00:29 -0800, Carson Gaspar wrote: > Stef van der Made wrote: > > > Today I have totally messed-up my PC and both garnome 2.16 and 2.17 were > > dead :-( With this I rembered to drop the .gnome****** folders.
