Was this meant to be a solution to my
"Adding-apps-to-the-panel-problem?" If so, Iīm pretty sure that I did
never have anythinge else than orbit-0.5.0 installed. When I installed
my SuSE Linux I didnīt select the ORBit-package that comes with the
distribution (thatīs at least true for my SuSE 6.0 system, I cannot
remember if I initially installed an older ORBit on my SuSE 6.2, if so
Iīm pretty sure that I removed it correctly, using the rpm -e
<whatever-name-the-package-had> command.

When I did some stuff today, I noticed that while compiling GNOME-CORE
there are several WARNING-messages from the compiler appearing on the
screen. One of these reads like:

applet-widget.c:84: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer
type

I just thought that that might mean something, because when I type
gnomepager_applet (or any other applet) in an xterm, the error messages
I get does also refer to applet-widget.c.
Thatīs just something that came to my mind. Probably the presence of
this (and some other) warnings are normal. And, oh yes, like always you
can view all the output I get when compiling GNOME-CORE by going to
http://www.nightcastleproductions.org/various/install.txt

If my problem are related to these compiler-warnings, is it possible
that the compiler Iīm using isnīt quite a good idea to use when
compiling GNOME? Iīm using the egcs compiler, which is installed by
default on SuSE 6.x. The (old) GCC compiler is also available, but egcs
must be de-installed in order to use that one. Should I try compiling
with the other compiler?

All the above was just an assumption... Maybe itīs totally wrong ;-)
