open gnome-terminal, start mc (midnight commander) then try to exit out of it by using F10, instead of exiting out you get the toolbar menu opening (for me it does)

Notes on the Common Unix Printing System and Slackware
Written by Al Grimstad
Contributing editor John Jenkins
Introduction
Recent versions of Slackware Linux have included an alternative to the standard BSD style LPR-ng printing system, this system is known as CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System).
So, What Is CUPS? (Taken from the CUPS FAQ)
CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces. CUPS is licensed under the GNU General Public License and GNU Library General Public License.
CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon ("LPD"), Server Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world printing under UNIX.
CUPS includes an image file RIP (raster image processor) that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers. A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.
Documentation resources for cups administrators and users are listed at the end of this article.
Package Installation
You must choose between the cups package and the lprng and apsfilter packages as various printing commands are symlinks and the symlinks are based on the last installed package. Have a look at the output of ls -l/usr/bin/lp*/usr/sbin/lp*. You also need, at least, the espgs package, a variant of ghostscript, installed. Specific printers are supported in the hpijs and gimp-print packages.
Required Slackware Packages
For slackware current:
a/cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz
ap/espgs-7.07.1-i486-2.tgz
ap/hpijs-1.5-i486-2.tgz
ap/gimp-print-4.2.6-i486-1.tgz
For slackware 9.1:
a/cups-1.1.19-i486-3.tgz
ap/espgs-7.05.6-i486-2.tgz
ap/hpijs-1.4.1-i486-2.tgz
ap/gimp-print-4.2.5-i386-1.tgz
Once the cups packages are installed, the cups daemon needs to be running for the cups system to function. Make sure that/etc/rc.d/rc.cups is executable and cups will be started the next time you boot your system. To start cups immediately after installation, run:
#/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
Installing a Printer via CUPS
There are two minimum pieces of information you must tell the cups system when you install a printer, how to connect to the printer, e.g., via parallel, usb or network spooling interface, and which postscript printer description (PPD) file to use for processing print jobs. Note that, if you want cups to spool only and in no way process print jobs, you can configure a ?raw? queue and will not need a PPD file. Normally, you probably don?t want to do this.
To see which ?backend? interfaces your system supports, look at the output of
$/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
The backends are of two kinds, local connections, e.g.,
direct canon:/dev/lp0
direct epson:/dev/lp0
direct parallel:/dev/lp0...
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1...
and network connections, e.g.,
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
network smb
If you are using a standard slackware 2.4 kernel, parallel port printing support is built as a kernel module. If your output of lpinfo does not contain the/dev/lp0 interfaces, you?ll need to load the lp module:/sbin/modprobe lp
and restart cupsd. If you plan to print to the parallel port, you will want to uncomment a line like this in/etc/rc.d/rc.modules, so that the parallel port will be available f
even better is, audio line out to audio line in on recording device and with the volume levels moderated properly the recording is of top quality, no need for microphone that picks up background noise...

i know a bug for a code monkey to work on... open gnome-terminal, start mc (midnight commander) then try to exit out of it by using F10, instead of exiting out you get the toolbar menu opening (for me it does)
i am tired of the old bugs in Gnome, i want some new bugs frustrate me...
i guess it is time to abandon this account and remain an anynomus coward...
testing my "Terrible karma" damn karma sluts!!!
jeeezzz, what a mess!!! lmao
since the govt. dropped the ball in the msft antitrust case letting msft run unfetted with the release of xp i am suprised anyone took this job, cyber security is a joke with xp being marketed like it is for home and office and all its security issues xp has since it was released
where do you want to crash today
if that photo has a time stamp you will notice it is old, and was win98, that partition sceme is long gone... want a new one? let me find qparted and make a new one
windoze is a non-issue other than to ridicule, i would not allow that kludge on my boxen even if billy borg came to my house in person and offered to install it for me for free
i have a crt almost as big as a greyhound bus = no lag
and if you have a breakdown @ 1000 feet where you going to pull over???
and i was modded as a troll for saying the same thing, only i did not go in to detail...
there are lots of distros of Linux out there, Sun, redhat and any other distro commercially packaged better have added value above and over what any other distro has to offer because any system admin worth their salt should be able to slam a slackware distro on any puter and have it setup & running inside a hour...
is run and operated by some of the most scizophrenic loonies in the computer industry...
it was XP's restrictive EULA and product activation that drove me to abandoning Windows and move to Linux in the first place, tell those insensitive clods in Redmond to make a coaster out of the WinXP CD they wanted to sell me...
i went to my girlfriends house for the weekend, and her neighbor asked me to look at her computer, she has a pirated copy of XP pro on cable broadband, she says not to go to windows update (cause its pirated) but she fears it has a virus or something, and she gets lots of popups from that windows messaging, so i go to housecall on it and let it scan, and grc to run decombobulator, shoot the messenger, and plug & pray, i probably could have done more but i did not want to spend the weekend explaining the virtues of secure computing to a ditzy neighbor chic, besides my beer was back at my g/f house and i rather be smooching with my g/f and drinking cold beer than fiddling with a buggy windoze box (not my problem) and now that i reflect on it i wonder how many more unsecured windows machines are there on broadband possibly trojaned, keystroke logger (ID theft?), virus', worm, spambot & zombie...
is it a handy dandy friend?
or, big brother watching you?
now where did i leave my tinfoil hat...
on three different computers in three different locations. soon to do some more...
In the persuit of building a secure OS microsift just can not stay ahead of the curve (shamefull)...
if this was the mid 1960's i could see Ralf Nader on TV saying "Windows is unsafe at any speed"...
too much kruft and kludge will make this type of software in to kludgeware, KISS = keep it simple stupid!!!
darn it, i forgot to add the breaks, looks like hammered poo now.

yes i am paranoid, and not without good reason considering microsoft's track record...
