gnome and konsole compatibility

I have always used KDE with linux. I'm interested in installing the
current ubuntu LTS version - with gnome. However, I am a programmer
and have gotten used to and rely on konsole to host a number of
applications that I use to do my work. I would like to be able to
get up and running as quickly as possible, and then take my time
adapting to a new (to me) desktop.

I have a bad experience not long ago with mint. Installed it, tried
konsole and any time I rebooted all of the konsole tabs were
distributed into seperate windows. The mint forum was no help at all
on this matter.

So my question is:
Can I expect to set up konsole with multi-tabbed sessions
successfully and have those sessions restored at boot or login time
just as I currently do with KDE 3.5.10?

  IOWS:I now have two shells, two MCs, slrn,mutt,mysql console, and
	   weechat running in konsole and if I restart, I get _all_ of
	   those restored. I believe that with time, I could do the same
	   with gnome-terminal, but would need to have konsole as above
	   fairly quickly.
TIA

Providing you have the KDE libs required for konsole, there should be no 
problem.  I too prefer konsole (altho' do not expect the same type of 
use out of it that you want) and run that quite smoothly from within the 
GNOME DE.

  Yeah even with mint the apt wrapper took care of the dependencies.

  Thanks. That's good news. And I would then give a try at enhancing
  gnome-terminal.

problem of gnome-icon-theme-2.26.0 or how to test if

Preventing gnome-power-manager from turning monitor off

Hi.

I'm using mplayer in GNOME and for preventing starting screensaver
using 'gnome-screensaver-command -p' (actually in ~/.mplayer/config:
heartbeat-cmd="gnome-screensaver-command -p"). All ok with
screensaver, but g-p-m ignoring this poking and puts display to sleep
after some time. This is normal behaviour? If yes, how can I prevent
monitor from sleeping?

Thanks.

Changing the launcher command/address field ??

Hi;

I just wrote a typo in a new launcher's address field.  To correct it I
had to create a new launcher and trash the original.  Properties did not
give me access to the command/address field to make the correction.

I have been throwing out launchers and re-creating new ones every time I
want to fix a typo or add an option or flag to a command for 4 years
now.

Shouldn't the 'properties' dialogue for launchers show the command
and/or address field so thy can be edited?

Do you know of another way of doing this?  Command line perhaps?

Hm, looks like gnome-screensaver ignoring poking too... Also

Poking the screensaver seems to be broken. The function has been
replaced with a FIXME.

There's an open bug about this if you want to track progress:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579430

Also, note that the dbus-send command in that Debian bug is wrong, it's
SimulateUserActivity not Poke.

Missing Shutdown button in Gnome System Menu

Hi,

My Shutdown button is missing the gnome system menu. I am using Debian 
Unstable. First I thought this was a kind of bug, but it seems to work 
on other systems running debian unstable so it has to do with my machine.

The shutdown button is missing if I login as another user, too. So it 
does not seem to depend on my user configuration.

I am running GDM and I can shutdown via GDM. The Actions are enabled in 
the login window configuration.

I don't know what packages are needed for the shutdown via gnome menu 
and what the causes can be. Any hints?

Thanks and regards
Paul.

Re: Missing Shutdown button in Gnome System Menu

Got it to work now. After upgrading some packages and installing the 
whole gnome-desktop-environment it works. Although this is not what I 
want, but for the moment I'll live with it.

Do you know which gnome packages are required to make this work?

Regards
Paul
