[blfs-dev] gnome tagging

[Bruce Dubbs]

Ken,

   I know you are going to tag gnome, but I needed to get some gnome 
apps running so I ran through all of them in the book.  They all build 
without issues.  All but three seem to run fine.  The ones that don't:

cheese: doesn't yet recognize my camera.  Perhaps it is a kernel issue 
and will continue to check.
========
gnome-terminal: From an xfce desktop, I get

Error constructing proxy for 
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited:
Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

I'm not sure what is going on there.  I see some similar messages for 
earlier versions of gnome terminal with things like out of date vte or 
no LANG or LC_* options.  Those should not be a problem for us, but I 
have a suspicion that it now needs systemd. :(  Hope I'm wrong about that.

If that's the case, then we should just drop gnome-terminal.  We have 
xterm, lxterminal, konsole (kde4 and kf5 variants), xfce4-terminal as 
alternatives.
========
For yelp, I only tried it directly.  It seems to work if I asked for an 
index.  I have almost everything in blfs except lxqt installed per book 
instructions.
========
network-manager-applet: comes up but doesn't do anything.  I've been 
testing wicd and I may not have network manager set up properly.
