Re: Problem with gnome-shell-extension-prefs on GNOME 3.4.2

Thanks.

I do believe I did everything correctly, but I'm missing something. I
downloaded gjs from
http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/source/suse/src/gjs-1.32.0-2.2.2.src.rpm extracted the source and applied the gobject patch and the other patch in that rpm, I tried buildrpm with spec file but I failed at modifying spec correctly I think(i just added the new patch to it in 2 places). I then did a ./configure, make, sudo make install and rebooted. Yast is still showing the previous install date, and I still get the crashing, so I think I'm not installing correctly.

Time for bed.
