Hello, ...

i was able to compiled both gnome-libs and gnome-core, after installing what i
think was the right amount of GNU stuff.

but when i launch the panel, i get 
GImLib ERROR: Cannot find palette file /usr/etc/im_palette.pal
gdk_imlib: Cannot Find Palette. A Palette is required for this mode
Message: Initializing CORBA for panel

Gdk-Message: 
** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
where you able to launch it, is there a special option to imlib so that it
don't search for an inexistent /usr/etc/im_palette.pal (this sound strange,
		there is no /usr/etc directory here, nor on my linux/debian system at
		home.l) but in my home directory, i am not root here (and don't want my
			gnome experimenting to affect other users ...)
		
Friendly,
