CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in po/eu.po

Every now and then I'll see a merge conflict in some package or

other.

gdk-pixbuf has an interesting issue in its build system; it updates the
translation files at every full build, instead of doing so only on
distcheck (i.e. when preparing the release tarballs).

It makes no sense to me because I'm not actually developing any of
these packages, so I don't understand why a pristine source tree

would

have a merge conflict with itself, but invariably I can just choose
option 6, "wipe directory and start over", and after that it's able

to

check out and build successfully.

I understand, starting over would be the quickest fix, but its not an
option for those with slow connections. Anyway, option 6 is worth to
try.

no need to clear the directory; go inside it (use the "shell" option)
and do:

  $ git checkout -f
  $ git clean -xdf

then exit and restart from the configure phase.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

Thanks...
The build was successful, but I can't run the shell with this command: ./gnome-shell --replace.
Since I am on the KDE(Which I will explain below why) I can't paste the exact error message for now, but it says something like this:

display already active on 0: or a window manager is currently active, or something like that, and it says that I need to have this switch --replace , when in fact I already have.

Following these commands:

ln -s ~/gnome-shell/install/share/applications/gnome-shell.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/gnome-shell.desktop

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager "gnome-shell" -t string

Logout then login, shows me a desktop with a wallpaper without a shell or a panel. Even Alt-F2 won't work, so I press CTRL-ALT+Backspace again and use the KDE session to compose this mail.

I think I need to get back to the GNOME 2.x session first. Anyone knows what happened?

Cheers,
Allan
