How secure is GNOME Keyring?

Hi,

How secure is GNOME Keyring?

I also would like to use GNOME Keyring Manager to store my external
passwords.  Is it a good idea?  Or should I use independent Password
Manager implementations?

Thank  you

Edit launcher

I browsed the archives and saw several threads on this topic, but I'm
not sure where it stands for 2.6.  I'm using 2.6.2 on gentoo.  I used
Edit Launcher on the context menu of previous versions,  This option
seems to have disappeared.  What is the proper way now to edit the
command executed by a launcher?   I vote for adding this back to the
context menu.  Thanks.

I've got 2.8 here...

In 2.8 everything is in the 'properties' dialog it seems. there is a
'launcher' tab for entries in applications:// that let you set the name
etc. 

Worth noting I'm using Fedora Core 3, there may be differences..

Managing Open With Entries

Hi,

I have Gnome 2.8 installed.  I also have latest KDE installed.

KDE file type associations are recognized in GNOME.  There are a couple
problems with these associations:
1. I can't delete them.  For example, if I select a *.txt file, right
click, go to properties, select "Open With" tab I will find a list of
associated programs:  KWrite, KEdit, Kate, Text Editor, emacs.  When
KWrite, KEdit, Kate is selected it can not be removed!
2. If I use "Open with KEdit" option I get 3 KEdit copies opened!  First
two are empty.  The titles of these windows are:
   %i - %c - there is nothing in the window
   %m - %c - there is nothing in the window
   my-real-file-name - %c - the window contains contents of the file

The "can't delete" association is anoying.
The 3 files problem is actually very anoying.  This does not happen if I
create my own KEdit association.  The problem is in this case I will
have two similar looking entries.

Setting default permissions under gnome

I'm using Debian Sarge.

At present, while using Gnome, applications typically create files with 
permissions rw-r--r--.

I want to change this so that files are craeted with permissions rw-r-----.

That is, I want umask to be 0027, not 0022.

I have changed the default umask in /etc/login.defs and /etc/profile and 
my own .bash/profile.

This works for non-graphical sessions, but gnome-terminal continues to 
show umask = 0022, and applications continue to create files with 
permissions rw-r--r--.

I've searched various documentations and also greped files in /etc for 
umaak, and have found nothing.

What is setting the overall default umask to 0022 and how can I change it?

Issues with gnome? No taskbar/dock/panel.

Hello,

I am running ubuntu hoary, and for some strange reason my panel/dock
whatever will not start with new sessions. So when I log in to gnome, I
get my background wallpaper and that's it. I currently have to start
applications manually, after right-clicking on the background to get a
terminal up.

I don't really have any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this. I
can't find a "what to do when stuff goes really wrong with gnome" howto
on the net. Can anyone point me to a good walkthrough of how gnome
works, or can anyone point me to some logfiles or ways to debug this issue?

I'd like to log in to my desktop as root, but currently root is not
allowed to. It seems that the only way to allow root to log in to the
GDE is through the panel. Which I don't have. :-/ Does anyone know of
the app name that I could launch explicitly from CLI?

Thanks,

Ian.

GNOME Input Methods are Great

Hi,

I was really surprised to see GNOME input methods to include Cyrillic
Transliteration!

Great idea

It helps me a lot.

Developers/Designers should know that...

Permissions problem

I have recently installed X.org 6.8.1.99 and have trouble starting 
Gnome-2.8.  It seems to be some sort of permission problem.

The X11 lock files are created with uid/gid of root/<my user name> and it 
seems gnome-session wants both root.  If I start X/Gnome once as root, 
then I can go ahead and start X/Gnome as myself.   Anyone have an insight 
as to what could be wrong?

$ /usr/local/gnome28/bin//gnome-session
_IceTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.ICE-unix will not be 
created.
_IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.ICE-unix) failed, errno = 2
_IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local

** (gnome-session:30749): WARNING **: Cannot establish any listening 
sockets

[Fwd: Re: How can I add my startup programs to gnome session system wide?]

Hi Guys,

Any other idea to add my startup programs to gnome session? I am stuck
here for nearly a week. I tried to modify /etc/bashrc, but it is
executed even when some one use "ssh" or "su -" command which is not
expected. I only want it to be executed when gnome session startup.
Another thing, I tried to add "[Chooser]" section in gnome session
config file (/usr/share/gnome/default.session); but it seems not work.
Does any one know anything about it ( I saw the instruction in "man
default.session" command , but not quite understand ) ?

Thanks.

Rocky

Re: Issues with gnome? No taskbar/dock/panel.

Mart, I trust you. No gnome sessions as root. Promise. :-P

Can anyone shed some light on these Xsession-errors? I am not finding
much through google:

$ cat .xsession-errors
