GNOME applications menu empty
The GNOME applications menu shows no installed applications in any user account. Also, when I try to access help within GNOME, I get an error message about no file association. I tried editing applications.menu based on information from the GNOME lists, but to no avail. I have all the current GNOME ports installed under 10.4.9 PPC. KDE is also installed, and seems to work about as well as you would expect. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for replies.

I'm afraid that I don't use GNOME (and don't have the time or space on my laptop to test it out just now). I'm just replying (a) so that you know that you're not being ignored, and (b) in that hope reviving the thread might bring this to the attention of someone who knows more about MacPorts' installation of GNOME. So, anyone able to help LD out here? Kind regards, Maun Suang -- Boey Maun Suang (Boey is my surname) Email: boeyms at macports dot org
LD: What are the contents of your .xinitrc file? Have you looked at http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ GNOME to see if the problem is addressed there? I regularly reinstall GNOME on one of my Macs to test it and have not encountered this problem... On 21 May 2007, at 20:36, Boey Maun Suang wrote:

I have no problem with the applications menu, but I do have a problem with the help files and have been for some time. When using help, yelp opens with either a dialog or a menu of help items any of which when clicked on will open the dialog. The dialog states: "There is no default action associated with this location." I did note that the scrollkeeper.conf file has the following: OMF_DIR=/usr/share/omf:/usr/local/share/omf:/opt/gnome/share/omf:/opt/ gnome-2.0/share/omf:/opt/kde/omf whereas the directory for the omf files is /opt/local/share/omf. Adding this path, however, changes nothing. No help files will open. Vince McGarry
