I've installed and uninstalled gnome-control-center/experimental (I wish there was a virtual package named gnome-control-centre that called it in - not being American, it is far more natural to type that,) and each time, my Control Center/Desktop Preferences/Server Settings/System Settings is constrained to: Screensaver. Nothing else. No Window Manager, Background, Mouse Properties - whatever. Add in that the Screensaver configuration doesn't run, and things are a bit limiting.
I can run the individual items from any shell, but I suspect that that isn't the intention of Gnome 2. Is there a package I am missing, or a package version that might be out of whack? This said, during my early steps of migrating to Gnome 2 applications, I lost the Debian menu contents from both Gnome and KDE, and as such I am starting to suspect that these may be related: missing menu entries that may or may not be in the Free Desktop system. The Debian menu is fine in any of the other window managers on this system: uwm, fvwm, icewm, blackbox, twm, AfterStep, WindowMaker, etc. - just the "Desktop Environments" are missing it. I'm also wondering where to look for a settings applet to change window managers - there doesn't appear to be one with gnome-control-center/experimental, and my apt-cache and apt-file searches aren't getting me any closer. Have I missed a page of directions in this transition? -- Mark L.
