GNOME version: 2.11/2.12


Description Colton Provias 2005-12-12 01:54:36 UTC 
Version details: 2.12.1
Distribution/Version: Custom (Likos) - Based on Linux From Scratch

Built Linux base using LinuxFromScratch.org's LFS and BLFS guides (development
versions)
 
Followed BLFS's guide on setting up GNOME.  When gnome-panel starts after the
startx command for, it crashes and displays:

** (gnome-panel:3240): WARNING **: Failed to add file monitor for
file:///home/cjpro/.gtk-bookmarks: Unsupported operation

Note, KDE 3.5 was running sucessfully but was removed prior to installation of
GNOME.

Warning: Process of setting up LFS/BLFS system may take several weeks on a
Pentium 4 (2.5 GHz)
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2005-12-14 21:39:04 UTC 
You probably didn't compile gnome-vfs with fam/gamin support. The operation is
supported.

I changed the error message in this case:

2005-12-14  Vincent Untz  <vuntz@gnome.org>

	* panel-menu-items.c: (panel_place_menu_item_instance_init): don't
	report useless warning when file monitoring is not supported. Just
	print something so the user knows he needs another library.
	Fix bug #323837.
