Devices on GNOME desktop
by R.Ramkumar 29 May '05

29 May '05

The currently expected behavior of the GNOME 2.8 desktop on Fedora Core 3 is to pop-up a device when it is plugged in (eg. USB stick). But when the user right-clicks and manually selects unmount, plugs out the device and plugs it back in, it does not pop-up again. Instead, if the user plugs out the device without an unmount notification to the desktop, the desktop icon prevails and when clicked, generates an error. What is the reason for this? ... and if there is a valid reason, how does the user handle this situation more elegantly? After all, the user might want to plug in the same device twice in a session. -- ram_einstein FC3 ram_einstein.blogspot.com

Editing the Gnome Menu
by Chris Spencer 09 May '05

09 May '05

What's the easiest way to edit one's local and global menu items in Gnome? It appears the default Gnome distributed with FC3 doesn't have any of the direct menu-editing functionality compiled in. I've been able to modify my menu somewhat as root, by editing the files in /usr/share/applications, but this is horribly obscure and unintuitive. Is there a better way? Chris

Browsing windows networks on konqeror
by Shashi Kanth Boddula 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hi, I have one project where the customer is migrating from Windows XP to Linux . The main requirement for them is to access network shares as they are accessing network shares in XP . In XP , a domain user can browse the network and he can go into any computer which is part of the domain . The user no needs to provide user name and password to access network shares in XP ( provided by appropriate permissions ) . So, the customer is expecting same thing from Linux. In KDE , if i am browsing the windows network by using konqeror , you can see all the domains in the network and machines which are part of these domain . But , when i am trying access to one machine , username-password dialog box appears . After providing username & password credentials , a user can go inside that machine and he can access the shares which are in that machine . If you try to access same machine second time , you won't get username-password dialog box . Konqeror has capabilities to cache the password , but this is not permenent for windows networks . Kwallet also doesn't helping me to solve this issue. I joined Linux to their domain , but still the problem exists . Please any body can tell me how we can solve the problem . Is kwallet solve this kind problems or is there is any way to solve this problem . Actually , this is the common requirement for all customers who are migrating from Windows to Linux . Thanks & Regards, Shashi kanth

OpenOffice icons

Is it just me, or does the openoffice icon artwork look really terrible and difficult-to-understand? I opened a bugzilla for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156424 If those agreeing/disagreeing could post comments there, it would be great. Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk
