Max4Lin: Gnome a kind of Leopard


Today is a cold and rainy day...
I cleaned up the desktop and I'm quite annoyed about standard gnome themes, googoling I find out this theme, it's more a complete restyle of gnome.

gnome-appearance-properties freezes Solved

Mandriva 2008/Gnome 2.20.0

I didn't a fresh install of 2008, I moved from 2007.1 Spring to 2008 Free.
running gnome-appearance-properties in the last days I got a lot of CPU cosumpion and the application was freezed.
Searching with Google, I found a post in Mandrivauser http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=46339 with the solution.

You must only rename the file, I suppose you can remove it too...
As ROOT user type:

mv /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libhcengine.so /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libhcengine_backup.so

That's it, Works!

The error was (I posted it only for google' spiders)

gnome-appearance-properties

(gnome-appearance-properties:16430): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not open file "(null)"
gnome-appearance-properties: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libhcengine.so: undefined symbol: ge_cairo_inner_stroke_rectangle
