I can't open the menu by press ALT+F(the shortcut key of menu item) when my locale is set to zh_CN.UTF-8,

I have reported this bug on bugs.gnome.org, but until now they don't have a solution for this.
and some days ago I upgraded gvim to 7.0.79, the menu shortcut key doesn't work too, but with other gtk program, works fine, such as xchat2, xchat-gnome
Anyone has this problem?

Another bug with the deskbar, or a feature?
With the old deskbar-2.14 I could see the program "icon" and and "executable-icon", when I typed in a program name like "gedit". With the new deskbar-2.16 I could see the the program icon like that of gedit while I am typing, but if i finished with typing the program icon disappears and only the "executalbe-icon" is visible.

Did the developers really want this behavouir?

My keybinding for logout is not working anymore. Gnome accepts the "control alt delete" keybinding when setting it but it doesn't trigger the logout function. I'm running xkeybindings and xmodmap.

What does Xev tell you when you press it? Just asking in case something got accidentally remapped.

Can someone explain this one to me:

I wish I could get as far as you all have. I keep getting this cairo error when building gnome-applets-2.16.0.1 :

I had similar Issues. Try to remerge cairo, that should solve it and do a revdep-rebuild just to be on the save side with your other packages

xev is not picking up anything abnormal. I checked bugs.gnome.org for this issue (control alt delete keybinding for logout) and it seems they are aware of this bug and planning to bind gnome-system-monitor with a prominent logout feature to "control alt delete" (a lot like what you get in windows when pressing those keys).

hmm I have some weird problem with cairo

It keeps turning up in temerge -uDN world half the time with versoin 1.2.4 and the other half with 1.0.4 whichever is not installed.

using the tree switch for emerge i figured out that pygtk seems to depend on 1.0.4 directly and

Kaste - your "emerge" output would be more useful if you had the "v" switch enabled, as then we could see what kind of USE flags you have set. Given that what you're trying to solve are dependency oddities, USE flags are definitely germane to the discussion :wink:

Umm has anyone actually used the cd copy feature of Gnome CD master with only one recorder?
I never noticed that app before and decided to give it a try.
I think it is a little odd. Besaid function copies a cd. In my case I'm working on a laptop and therefore only have one optical drive. When it is done copying the disc to the hard drive it doesn't say anything. No Popup, no note, no label that changes. It just sits there, idle, waiting for you to remember that you have to change the disc.
I mean it's not too hard to guess and once you know it's no problem but it still not the best example of usability in my opinion.

well it has a statusbar saying a hundred percent, but to be honest i usually don't trust those, because they always seem to do most of their work in the last 3 percent and It doesn't say wether this is for the whole copy job or just the track or whatever.

Hi all,
recently i updated to 2.16 (which is great btw) but i have a couple of problems
1) I lost all links to the mount points in the Computer link. When i clicked on the Computer icon on the
desktop in opened nautilus with all partitions and removable devices. Now the partitions are gone and i only see
cdroms and usb drives. I had the same problem some time before but it was solved after an update. Is there a solution for this ????
2)After i updated i can not use Vlc because if you run Vlc and then you go to File->Open File and in the Open File dialog you click on browse, the Open Dialog that normally showed is no longer visible. The application is not responding anymore and you have to kill it. Its like a modal dialog is running but is not visible, so all messages are directed to it, but you can not close it because it is not visible!!!

I have fully updated my system (and rebuilded wxGTK and Vlc). I use Xgl and compiz but i don't thing that they have anything to do with that.Afterall the system worked perfectly before 2.16.

I would appreciate any help...
Thanks in advance

iz, I see the same thing. I think this is probably a gtk+ 2.10 bug, I've seen similar behavior in a couple other applications. It may require a new wxGTK release.
