Spent most of the day sorting bugs. Or attempting to. Got the default desktop setup nailed, finally a new background thatll work and passed usability demands.
A few hours of trying to debug session related errors on the clients. (Epiphany wouldn't cooperate and load pages, just connected and showed the SSL Cert dialog. Can't figure out why except that even when shutdown two instances were alive with session manager startuplines).
Even more fun to try and get to the reason that nautilus crashes with an odd error on two roots. Went away after a reboot, so I suspect its some issue with the NFS server. (yes, my "root-over-nfs" client has a higher uptime than the server that serves its / ... )
And it will be further fun to debug gdm(client shutdown/reboot) a bit. I suspects its another permissions error.
Same for gimp (note to self, try latest 2.0 pre)
Even more fun, debugging metacity and clicks + focus issues. yey.
Don't talk to me about openoffice. *gnyff* (what? it needs /usr writable. sometimes. blargh)
and, can somone explain, in detail the difference between sodipodi/inkscape and xfig? Not for me, but since I don't use both I'm not too sure. please?
Also, debugging mozilla-bonobo + gpdf and printing. No thanks.
And a gnome/gtk+2 integrated printqueue manager.
I'm feeling really stressed. This isn't good.
And the NFS server, well.. 75398.00% IOwait (according to top) when it was forcing our clients down to their knees and kicking them. Reset-time. (damned dell with the raidcontroller from hell).
