The tarballs for all of the GNOME code we ship is on ftp.gnome.org. Our SRPMs are available from ftp://ftp.helixcode.com/pub/helix/distributions/<d istro>/SRPMS/.
GNOME stands for "GNU Network Object Model Environment". GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix", and has always been officially pronounced "guh-NEW" to minimize confusion. Since GNU is GNOME's first name, GNOME is officially pronounced "guh-NOME".
It pains me to hear you say that the GNOME panel is windows like:)
Yes, GNOME's panel can be configured to look similar to windows and kde, but it also can be set up to look similar to the docks of Window Maker et al, or almost whatever you want.
But use whatever you want; it's great that we have so much choice.
There is some pretty large brokenness in the GNOME that was shipped with RH 6.1. The dingus clicking doesn't work, and there are quite a few crashes that were fixed in the time between RH 6.1 and gnome 1.0.53.
A lot of the 0.99.x betas also had nicknames... Profiling Bonobo, Preening Bonobo, Superstitious Bonobo, Simplified Bonobo... (ok the last 2 were gnumeric)
Since my panel is very stable these days, it is hard to fix crashes in it:)
That's why it's important for users to post bug reports of the panel (and other GNOME programs) to bugs.gnome.org.
Please include stack traces and detailed descriptions of what you were doing... especially if you can reproduce the crash. Otherwise fixing the bugs gets pretty tricky.
Also, in the upcoming 1.0.50 release, you shouldn't get complete panel settings losses when (if) things crash, but maybe an applet or two if Murphy is out to get you.
I was just looking through the KDE mailing list archives, and couldn't find any references to MICO or CORBA in the months preceding GNOME, and the KOffice list only starts in December of 1998. Do you have a URL or something talking about KDE's first use of CORBA? I am just curious as to why it didn't get into 1.0.

yeah, it is pretty easy to do.
we can just check the font size and then skip the AA loading if it is small.

That's because it's not out yet :)

You probably need to also download the packages.xml file and put it in the same directory as the RPMs.
The packages are meant to be an upgrade... so you don't have to uninstall your current GNOME.
try index.phtml.en
sigh... you should talk to Justin.

If you put the pager or tasklist in a corner panel you can do exactly this in GNOME.
If you turn on the "keep menus in memory" option in the global panel preferences the menus come up right away.
This was originally disabled by default, but in October GNOME it is now enabled by default since the memory costs aren't as high as were thought.
You know........
When I checked the web page before, it said gnome-core 1.0.41, and I just checked and it said 1.0.53.
Cool.
I just looked at the package script, and it only includes the 1.0.4x beta of October GNOME.
Pity.
So it seems the only distro that will ship final OG will be Debian.
For now at least.
I think there are .debs in the debian tree (that's what I've heard).
.tar.gz, as the other person pointed out. Dax and others make the RPM's.
And the module maintainers only make
In a word, definitely.

The gui is for cd or nfs installs.
Indeed!
:/
Upgrading to NS3 from 4.x is so great, both memory wise and speed (rendering) wise.
Too bad developer.gnome.org doesn't work too well with it

1.0.40 RPM's aren't there yet, but my guess is that they will be soon.
Of course, you have the source, you can do whatever you like :)
Seriously, you can set the environment variable 'GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG' to 1, and it will disable the dialogs.
You do know that if you don't report crashes, they are hard to fix, right?
By far the most obvious one is the time taken for the Gnome start menu to become visible.
I'd recommend turning the "store menus in memory" setting in the global panel preferences to on.
Also, putting the system/user/etc menus as submenus speeds up the initial draw.
The problem is that there is a lot of disk access involved, my guess is that this will be improved in 2.0.
A lot of the 0.99.x betas also had nicknames...

Profiling Bonobo, Preening Bonobo, Superstitious Bonobo, Simplified Bonobo...
(ok the last 2 were gnumeric)
Anyway, you can call it 1.0.50 if you like
Can you get some stack traces and do some bug reports? It is hard to fix bugs that aren't known to exist.

BTW, do you know when they actually started using CORBA?
Thanks again
