gconf is a mess right now, I can confirm. In order to modify compiz settings I had to switch from gconf backend to flat file. Let's hope things get sorted shortly.  |

Can I ask a dumb question? Would it be so bad to wait until upstream (Debian) worked out most of the bugs and then use their packages?
It won't help your bug-squashing efforts, but I downgraded to Viola. Stable and quite pretty.
BTW, here's a post on how to enable basic compositing effects using only Metacity. |

| Its natural that things getting messed up in every new release. Yeah, if you don't like to face mess, use Viola that's stable. Then when you see things are more stable, can upgrade to Boss. |

| Alan gnome 2.4 is going through a one step forward three steps back with Arch Linux at the moment every update breaks something else so you are going to have your work cut out for a while. Yesterdays Arch updates killed printing today all gnone settings are frozen, regarding no sound this happened with arch as well the work round was to blacklist the pcspeaker-daemon just a thought thats all as it did not effect all users |

Still no sound and that little warning about the gnome-settings-daemon not able to start is now showing on start up the only thing that plays sounds is sound juicer |

| mandog, please update again and restart GNOME. The warning should disappear. More updates are coming. Also expect an updated kernel soon. |

| The recent round of updates fixed many issues on my system. First of all, my shutdown dialog has returned to the old familiar one that WORKS!!! Also, computer:///, network:///, trash:/// and smb:/// are fixed and working as expected. Gnome seems improved in performance. And, my ALSA sound system works as expected. (I never lost sound as others have reported.) Thanks for these updates!!! |

A couple of issue's I've identified over the past couple of days: 1. Gnome-screensaver doesn't start automatically any longer. I had to add this command to my gnome preferences in order to get it started at each login. This prevented the command gnome-screensaver-command --lock from locking the screen.
Also, there seems to be an issue with Compiz-fusion. I used to be able to have a water droplet (water effect plugin enabled) appear whenever a buddy logged in or out of Pidgin. Now, this no longer occurs even though the water plugin is enabled and functions otherwise.
Pidgin never fully connects. I receive the message "connecting..." forever in the pidgin window. I think this has something to do with Network Manager 0.7, however, I cannot verify it.
Other than these minor issues, Gnome 2.24 seems to be progressing splendidly! Keep up the good work and keep those updates coming!! |
