Re: applet crazyness

[Daniel A Scholnick Dartmouth EDU (Daniel A. Scholnick)]

I had the same problem with gnomecc (the gnome control center).  It said that it couldn't find the control-center.  It turned out that all of my .gnorba files were in /etc/CORBA/servers except for one which was put (for some mysterious reason) in /usr/etc
/CORBA/servers and wasn't being found.  So, a symbolic link fixed things up.  I have no idea why they weren't all put in the same place to begin with.  

I hope this helps...

I've solved the problem!!! 

For some reason some CORBA bits of gnome 1.0 think they've 
been installed in /opt/gnome. My install is in /usr/local. 
Just do: 

mkdir /opt/gnome 
ln -s /usr/local/share /opt/gnome/share 
ln -s /usr/local/etc /opt/gnome/etc 

And all should work OK - the problem was that capplets 
and applets couldn't find their .gnorba files which are 
in /opt/gnome/etc. 

All works like a dream now! Pleae feel free to forward 
this to the gnome-list - I'm not currently subscribed to it.

Edd.
