Marty, Your not Ximians' target audience. The mere fact that you download and install bleeding edge and pre-beta software means that you are far in advance of where Ximian wants to be. Ximian is aiming at the corporate desktop. Corporate doesn't want untested, recent release software. They want work horse, runs day in day out, m's look like m's software. Ximain, as I understand it, are hard at work on Gnome2, including something special with OpenOffice.org (everyone's MUM, but there are signs) but they want super stable and super dependable. Ximian are never going to lead with their releases, but you can be sure that - if patient - their releases will be good, if a little 'passe' ;-] Rodd On Sat, 2002-09-14 at 12:24, Martin Felker wrote: > When I tried Red Carpet under the August build as a regular user I > started to encounter what others reported - it didn't run from the icon. > It did work as superuser (a shell from the terminal) running > 'red-carpet'.
