Re: Crashing applets

["Erwin J. Prinz" <ejprinz austin rr com>]

All:

I have the same issue on RedHat 7.3. However, if I change the directory 
to where I built the applets, e.g.:
.../garnome-0.12.0/gnome/control-center/work/control-center-2.0.0/capplets/font
I can start the applets without crashes. Therefore, this could be an 
issue with the install procedures of garnome (?).

Try to change directory to where you built the applet and run it from there:
cd 
.../garnome-0.12.0/gnome/control-center/work/control-center-2.0.0/capplets/font
./gnome-font-properties
(note the "./" which startes "gnome-font-properties" from the build 
directory, not from where garnome installed the binary)
and it will work without crashing. I don't know enough about how garnome 
works to find out where the issue is.

Thanks for the garnome maintainer for the great piece of work.

Best regards, Erwin
