New on www.usr-local-bin.org today:
I've been gradually build more and more core GNOME components, and have
now decided to take the next step, and produce a drop-in replacement for
SuSE's default GNOME setup. So here it is, ULB GNOME. no long just a set
of updated applications, nor a full-blown GNOME distribution, but a
plugging of the gaps. Here is a brief list of some of the changes from
the GNOME setup in SuSE 8.2:
* Changed GDM and splash themes and wallpaper to remove SuSE branding
* OpenOffice.org documents now correctly associated with OpenOffice.org
by default
* Menu theming available with themes that support it
* Panel launchers pick up icon theme changes without logging out & in
* GTK1 theme tracks GTK2 theme where matching themes are available
* Improved default panel configuration
* Improved Applications menu with launchers to main GNOME applications
* Added various GNOME wallpapers
* Evolution handles mailto URLs by default
* Galeon is default URL handler and browser
* Yelp handles help type URLs by default
* Nautilus handles smb URLs by default
* OpenOffice.org menu entry in Office section
As a result of this, some of the packages in the Misc Stuff section have
been moved to the new Core section.
In addition, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) version 1.3.17 has
been released.
