gnome-terminal default encoding

Hi,

I'm trying to find the way to define default encoding for
gnome-terminal at startup for not to setting it up manually... Is
there some system- or user- wide configuration file I can put my
settings in to make it done?

Laptop panel brightness

I'm not running the whole of GNOME, but I am running gnome-power-manager
and gnome-panel among other things, so I guess this may be my fault for
having an unusual setup (and it may not be GNOME's fault at all, but I
suspect that g-p-m is doing it).

Anyway, my problem is this: I have g-p-m preferences set to default the
screen brightness to 15%, which is fine for most purposes.

On a bright day, if I press the laptop's screen brightness hotkey to
make the screen brighter, then some time between 5 seconds and 2 minutes
later, it automatically dims back down to 15% again.

What am I missing that would make g-p-m accept that I've changed the
brightness manually for the current session?

(This is under Fedora 14 with g-p-m 2.32.0, although it also happened
with earlier versions.  And for some odd reason, Fedora no longer ships
gnome-brightness-applet which would mitigate this problem.)

Thanks

How do I get gnote configured to find my previous files?

Hi;
I have reinstalled Fedora 14.  All if my /home directory was backed up
on another disk.  I have copied (restored) the backup to my new /home.
Gnote doesn't see my gnotes.  They are important to me.  How do I
configure gnote to look in the right directory
--  /home/user/.local/share/gnote.

Gnote found the notes after I logged out and in again.

Thanks for the followup, I was looking for an answer and was in the
process of installing packages needed to recompile Gnote so I could
enable debug output.

Now, I guess I have no excuse for not getting back to doing what I
should be doing.

I should also thank you for a break I really needed.

Cheers,

Mike

A symlink?
Or, alternatively, create a not in gnote to see where it stores its  
notes by default. Then, move your pre-existing notes there and start  
using the new location as default.
Or, alternatively, dig around in gnote options to see where its default  
store path is defined, and edit it accordingly. I don't use gnote  
though, so this may not be viable?

How can I create a filetype association that uses the filename's extension?

Dear List,

I have several kinds of files that Gnome detects as "plain text
documents": some with the extension .py, some with .txt, some with
.mht . . . you get the picture. The .py files I'd like to open with
gVim, the .txt files in SciTE, the .mht files with Opera, et cetera.
However, when I try to change the "Open WIth" of any of these file
types [1], it changes for all plain text files. The behaviour I desire
is that I can associate different programs to files with different
extension.

Is it possible to persuade Gnome to treat files with the same MIME
type but different filename extensions separately?
If yes, how?
If not: do you think a feature request to add this functionality would
stand a chance, or has this debate already been had? (I couldn't find
any mentions in the archives, or elsewhere, apart from a few forlorn
forum posts.)

Kind regards, and a happy new year to you all,

Sietse

It should, by default. The definitions for these are provided by
the package shared-mime-info. Do you have that package installed?

It sounds like GNOME wasn't installed quite correctly on your
machine. What distribution are you using?
