Re: garnome 2.12.2.1 evolution.desktop missing

["Donald Raikes" <don draikes com>]

Joseph,

I added the lines you sent to my .xinitrc file and ran startx >
startx2.log 2>&1.

Here are the results:

--- start of startx2.log file ---

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
--- end of startx2.log file ---

Once again, I will need to kill all process
