Autoconf shouldn't be needed to install the MIME stuff. Just 'configure;
make; make install'. Unless automake is doing something weird...

There's nothing complicated about either Makefile.am or configure.in in
that package, so it should work with any version. Try running 'automake',
'autoconf', and 'aclocal' manually a few times (seems to help with
automake problems for some reason .

Also, don't Mandrake provide ROX-Filer and shared-mime-info RPM packages?
There seem to be some available from the 'cooker' section of their site
(choose a mirror, then Parent Directory -> contrib -> RPMS).

rox logo/mascots

hi list,

You won't believe what I found while browsing my disk today - few rox
logo/mascots. I put them on web at:
http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/ROX/

There will be more to come if you like them.

Open as text in CVS... doesn't

I'm using the CVS of the developer series as of 29 August 2002. I
noticed today, as this was the first time I tried it, that the "Open as
text..." option in the menu... isn't. Nothing is happening.

I've looked through all the options in the options dialogs, and can't
find where to set this. I've also looked through the various files in
the Choices tree, and the only area that looks promising is the
MIME-Types tree -- but these are already bound correctly.

(I use the Open as text option quite a lot to open html files for
editing -- otherwise, opening them spawns my default browser.)

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Matthew

Oops. Fixed!

Delete the line menu.c:1879 (the one calling iter.next()).

It only affected the menu, not the Shift+Button-1 shortcut, so I hadn't
noticed...

Thanks,

Re: ROX+Gnome2

I hit up rpmfind.net today, and managed to get Rox 1.3.3 working
flawlessly with the newest (0.9-1.mdk) shared-mime-info RPM.  I am now a
happy camper.

The stuff on opendesktop.org or whatever site is hosting those main
files needs some work.  The tarballs were broken and kept segfaulting on
me when I tried a make install.

Which version? 0.8 had problems (bug in old versions of libxml) but it was
worked around in 0.9.

Widget Class of backdrop

Hello,

I am using ROX-Filer from CVS. I would like to know what the widget
class of the desktop backdrop is. Right now it looks just like the
default gtk button background. I guess the .gtkrc-2.0 settings are
overriding it's internal behavior.

You can change the colour from the options box, or set a backdrop from the
popup menu. The widget class isn't used...

HTH,

Those options only seem to work if I remove my .gtkrc-2.0 file. If you
think it's useful I can attach my .gtkrc-2.0
