I'll ask monty about this. I believe he investigated this particular

Ok, I'll be happy to file some bugs and provide patches.
How about this list of changes as a starting point:
- Split esound into esound (daemon and utils) and esound-libs (#223503)
- Make the package install /usr/bin/esd instead of /usr/bin/esdcompat
and make it conflict with esound - that should take care of
most of the gnome stack.
- Figure out a way to avoid the pulse-rt group requirement, or
alternatively, add users to pulse-rt automatically.
- Make module-hal-detect work with recent kernels

XDM/XSM - not getting proper X environment
by Ryan Daly
All:
I've been using XDM for quite a while. After installing Fedora Core 6, XDM seems to be behaving differently. When I first logged in, it didn't seem to use my ~/.Xclients. I read a little and discovered that it was looking for xsm. I installed it and created a ~/.xsession file (which had the same lines as my .Xclients had).
Things somewhat work, however when I log in my fonts are not what they should be, and some environment settings are not getting set.
Using GDM, things work as they should.
What changed, and how do I modify my config so that XDM works as it did?
Thanks.

Using pulseaudio by default
by Matthias Clasen
Since one of the plans for better sound in FC7 involves replacing
esound by pulseaudio, I had a look at this problem today.
First there is a wiki page about transitioning the gnome stack to
pulseaudio (http://live.gnome.org/PulseAudio?highlight=%28pulse%29)
which as some white spots, so there is some work left to do - it may be
possible to get there quickly for now by making use of the fact that
pulseaudio has esd emulation, and worry about cleaning up libesd
dependencies later. Is that the plan for FC7 ? What is the plan for
gstreamer, use the pulseaudio alsa emulation ?
Then, I installed the current Extras pulseaudio package, and found that
it does not work :-(.
Trying to run pulseaudio yields:
main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'.
module-hal-detect.c: failed to detect any sound hardware.
module.c: Failed to load "module-hal-detect" (argument: ""):
initialization failed.
main.c: Module load failed.
main.c: failed to initialize daemon.
Judging by the error message, pulseaudio seems to use some debianesque
manage-by-groups scheme. Indeed, looking at /etc/group, the package
created three groups, "pulse", "pulse-rt" and "pulse-access". But
why are these created in the range of regular user-groups, and how does
one use them ? I couldn't find any documentation about this in the
package.
Clearly, some work is needed to make pulseaudio-based sound work
out of the box.

What manager are you using for your personal
desktop? KDE, GNOME, XFCE, .... ?
The logout behaviour seems to be in charge of the
desktop manager, but I'm not sure. On the XFCE
mailinglist I was told that XFCE checks sudo
configuration first, and next checks with the
HAL configuration. For finding the solution,
they delegated me back to the Fedora list....
So, you may say "go to XFCE list for this issue".
However, in order to reboot the machine as a
regular user, somehow there should be a configuration
in Fedora that allows that.
XFCE by itself cannot overrule such a configuration;
OK, it may try, but I want Fedora to not allow
a regular user to take the machine down....
Thanks,
Rob.

Disable in X the restart/shutdown by user. How?
by Rob
Hi,
I'm running FC6 with Gnome's gdm as the X loging
manager (seems to be the default on Fedora) and
with XFCE as my desktop manager.
In the menu, there's a configuration option for
the X login display, with which I can remove the
Restart/Shutdown buttons on the login screen.
So the X login screen is OK.
However, upon logout, I get the 'confirmation'
window to "really logout" (which is good), but
there I also get the options to Restart/Shutdown
the machine after logout. I want to disable the
latter options, but that appears to be very
difficult.
I asked this question on the general fedora-list
but nobody seems to know the answer.
If I would use kdm, there seems to be a configurable
option. So is this then a missing feature in Gnome's
gdm, or a missing feature in Fedora in general?
I hope someone on this mailing list can help me.
Thanks,
Rob.

hp note book with nvidia geforce go 6150 's problem
by da feng
hello,
I find fedora 5 has a problem with geforce go 6150 graphics card. after screen saver is on or during boot up the desktop sometimes looks rusty, which means that the color is in a mess. But after reboot X, the problems goes. And sometimes the cursor is lost, then it need reboot. So I don't know what is wrong, may X has some bugs.

New Fedora GTK Theme
by Andrea Cimitan
Hi community,
I'm Andrea Cimitan (aka Cimi), a gnome themer from Italy. :)
Probably you had known my name in gnomelook.org, there I'm Cimi86, and
I've created a lot of themes like Murrine GTK2 Cairo Engine
(http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42755,
http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine.php) and Candido Themes.
I was thinking about a new proposal for Fedora Core GTK look.
Do you know that Ubuntu has "Ubuntulooks" as default theme engine, so I
thought "Why Fedora couldn't have Murrine?".
Feedbacks on gnomelook.org and polls on Ubuntu Forums hilight that
Murrine is the favourite Engine of Linux Desktop users.
That's why I'm proposing to you.
Murrine is a new-conception GTK2 Cairo engine, it was a fork of
Clearlooks code with a lot of improvements and bugfixes: its best
feature is surely the "options" through which the users can easily
change the look of all the themes (There's a GUI here:
http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine/configurator.php).
The engine is completely without bugs (it features support from gnome
devs like benzea that helped me in the bugfix process) and it is is
incredibly fast, nearly 50% faster than Clearlooks-Cairo and more
if you compare it to Ubuntulooks.
I think fedora could _at least_ add murrine to a repository, and then I
can provide a fantastic color scheme for the fedora desktop.
This is my proposale, I'm absolutely available to support you and to
start a good discussion on it.
I'm sure you will take care of these ideas so we can start a
constructive thread to support or against it.
See you!!
