Hi,
On 3 out of 3 machines gnome is severely unstable and incompletely installed.
--> missing icons (ie, "Home" appears as blank sheet not a house)
gdm crashes (and freezes computer hard with it)
xterm and other things have many font problems and eel problems.
gnome terminal doesn't work
--> abiword often crashes with "Fatal: can't allocate memory"
(reproducible, easily: just open print preview)
All had woody (separately installed - one a fresh install). All were
dist-upraded to sarge individually.
* KDE works fine on all machines.
* All old gnome files were removed from user dirs in effort to locate problem.
* I tried installed as many gnome packages (for sarge) as seemed sane.
* I tried reinstalling base gnome packages.
Sorry I can't be drop dead specific as to why. I beleive it to be both
improper compiling and improper distribution.
Why? I dl'ed Gnome 2.6.1 myself and compiled it and it has none of the
problem (save I skipped compiling epiphany and gnomemeeting).
1) I have icons installed
2) abiword doesn't crash
3) gnome terminal works great
4) noticeable speed increase in trying themes and in other areas
(I use my own xmd - haven't tried gdm in a while ;)
Now I did the compile sloppily - not insurning any of my compiling machine's
libraries / headers weren't wrong. (so if I can do it like an idiot and
have not problems...)
So, I guess what I'm saying is: I really wish someone over there would redo
all of sarge's packages of gnome and have it checked and re-checked for
install / uninstall / upgrade (all of, in any order) by a typical user. I
do think someone did it wrong - for whatever reasons.
Thanks,
John D. Hendrickson

Hi,
I'm closing this bug given it's extremely likely the problem is
something strange going on in your install, not Debian related.
If you disagree with this please reply to this bug giving us the details
we asked for.
Thanks,
Jordi
