Re: garnome 2.12.2.1 evolution.desktop missing

["Donald Raikes" <don draikes com>]

Joseph,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Here is what I have done, and the results.

1. I cd'ed to desktop/evolution and ran:
make clean
make install


2. I copied the evolution.desktop file to /opt/garnome/shared/applications.
3. I created a new (clean) user.
4. I logged in as the new user (tester1).
5. I ensured that the correct .xinitrc file was in place.
6. I ran
startx > startx.log 2>&1


I am blind, soi can't tell you what appeared on the screen. I have the
necessary code in place to enable gnopernicus screen reader, but it didn't
start talking.

 # Tell Gnopernicus which virtual terminal is being used by the X display.

 export CONTROLVT

I actually had to login as root and kill all processes owned by tester1 to
get out of gnome.
