Tried out Gnome 2.2 via Garnome today. It built fine, but, alas, completely failed to work. Starting nautilus from within KDE was so swap-happy (on a 512Mb machine) it took me five minutes to get to a shell to kill it. Xnest, exactly as described in the Garnome README, just gave a black screen. Starting gnome-session from a new X session just left the cpu pegged at 100% on the splash screen and didn't progress from there.

I don't know why Gnome hates me, but it does. Of course, every KDE release I've built has worked just fine.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
