Hello, Just read at the gnome website about the cross-desktop MIME-type system.
"As with GNOME 2.6, you must define the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable to the path at which your MIME database is installed, for instance <prefix>/share." Now I thought that things like this need to be handled, and probably the best would be to do such initial settings in the startup scripts which are starting X / GNOME. However I'm not an experienced Linux / GNOME user and have no idea what else needs to be in such a script. Do I start any of the daemons, or is it just enough to start the GNOME window manager? You get the picture, what I'm really looking for is a package with gnome-start-scripts in the style like the X startup-scripts to enable the start from the shell (.sh) script and to enable starting from explorer (.bat) windows shell via double click without ever opening a Cygwin shell. "Cygwin? What is this good for? Wanna run GNOME!" Gerrit -- =^..^= http://www.command.com/
