gnome-terminal only running as root

I am having a problem with gnome-terminal only running as root.

I have checked the rights etc on /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts as well
as /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp.

I don't know what else to check as the cause of the problem.

Thanks

Hi, have you already solved your problem?

If not, please try to collect strace log from terminal running under
usual user. You can do it with

killall gnome-terminal
strace gnome-terminal >& strace.log

Don't forget to gzip it.

How to get a GtkLabel to fill all the available space.

Greetings.

   Under Gnome 2.10, using glade-2, I created a simple window with 
GtkHBox.  The GtkHBox as 3 sections, the first a small image, the second 
a label and the tird a small button.

   The GtkLabel is the widget that should take all the rest of available 
space.  When clicking on it, I see that it seams to be taking it, as the 
border shown with glade-2 confirms it.  Yet, the text I have entered, 
multi-line and very long, seams to wrap much before the right border of 
the widget.  I tried all sort of stuff, but could not have the text go 
as far as the right border.  There seams to be an imaginary boundary in 
the middle of the label where the text wraps.

   I noticed that if I increase the width of the widget in pixels, in 
the Properties/Common/width entry, I can sorta fix this.  But that means 
I have to enter a specific width.  I do not want this.  I want for the 
label to expand and wrap as the user changes the size of the window.

   This must be a common problem.  Probably there is an easy solution I 
simply am not to figure out.

Best regards,
Hans Deragon

cairo & gtk+ mutually dependent ?

I found that cairo requires some gtk+ libs and headers to build, yet 
gtk+ has cairo as a requirement. Am I missing the point somehow ?
I hadn't been able to find an up-to-date Gnome build sequence doc so I 
put my own together based on starting from scratch :-
libxml2
libxslt
gtk-doc
glib
libIDL
......
glitz
cairo
pango
atk
gtk+
.... etc

but cairo doesn't fit that anymore. ?

Good stuff! Scons is an interesting build system but unforunately it 
lacks some standard autoconf/automake features. I've written my own 
extension for 'make dist' support but I look forward to taking a look at 
your 'scons tool'.

Script like one below should help you

#!/bin/sh

gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_4 --type string xcalc
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_4 --type string '<Alt>x'
