Gnome Ports

[Alessandro Lendaro <lendaro at basic dot net>]

perhaps this isn't the right NG/ML. But...

the GTK/Gnome/XFCE contribution ports
to the CygWin X do not appear to be very publicized/documented/supported.

I'd like to have more clarity about where packages are stored
(i.e. the URLs tio be added in CygWin setup.exe), how to install them,
which packages need to be installed to make what, and why I got some 
bugs/errors,
I mean, gconfd seems to have problems and it writes lots of errors in 
the Windows Event Log
like this:


Error setting value for `/apps/gtranslator/informations/last_run_on': 
Unable to store a value at key 
'/apps/gtranslator/informations/last_run_on', as the configuration 
server has no writable databases. There are some common causes of this 
problem: 1) your configuration path file /etc/gconf/2/path doesn't 
contain any databases or wasn't found 2) somehow we mistakenly created 
two gconfd processes 3) your operating system is misconfigured so NFS 
file locking doesn't work in your home directory or 4) your NFS client 
machine crashed and didn't properly notify the server on reboot that 
file locks should be dropped. If you have two gconfd processes (or had 
two at the time the second was launched), logging out, killing all 
copies of gconfd, and logging back in may help. If you have stale locks, 
remove ~/.gconf*/*lock. Perhaps the problem is that you attempted to use 
GConf from two machines at once, and ORBit still has its default 
configuration that prevents remote CORBA connections - put 
"ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc. As always, check the user.* syslog for 
details on problems gconfd encountered. There can only be one gconfd per 
home directory, and it must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and also 
lockfiles in individual storage locations such as ~/.gconf.
