Re: garnome 2.12.2.1 evolution.desktop missing

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Donald,

Here are some additions to your .xinitrc file. Let's see if these help.

        * add these export statements below 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH'
        * ignore the line wrap in these export lines

        export MANPATH=$GNOMEDIR/man:$MANPATH
        export PYTHONPATH=$GNOMEDIR/lib/python2.4/site-packages:$GNOMEDIR/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0
        export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GNOMEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
        export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GOMEDIR/share:/usr/share
        export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GNOMEDIR/etc/xdg
        export GDK_USE_XFT=1


NOTES:
	* Adjust the PYTHONPATH entry to reflect your system.
	* run the command 'gst-register'


I will try out gnopernicus tomorrow and see if I can get it to talk.
