first thing first, i am totally not digging wordpress 2.0's rich editor. is there anyway that i can disable it permanently?

anyways, i've beautified gnome 2.12 runnning on my notebook:

• emerged xcompmgr and now i have shadowing effect.


• installed the tango icons


• 
  
  used the clearlooks theme
  
  

and i have a spiffy looking desktop. i decided to use gnome in favor of fluxbox for usability and productivity. needless to say, gnome 2.12 rocks. there were however, a few problems with xcompmgr:

• clicking logout (from the gnome-panel) seemed to "hang" gnome. this was because the gnome-logout dialog box was "invicible", to really logout, you need to press 'enter'. i got around this by disabling the gnome-logout dialog box. this can be done by launching gconf-editor, and unchecking logout_prompt in /app/gnome-session/options.


• logging in the first time after reboot, the bottom panel is invicible. so i logged out, then logged in, it'll reappear. weird.


• sometimes xcompmgr runs fine, sometimes it makes gnome so sluggish. i don't know what's causing this.

take note that gnome 2.12 is still keyword masked in gentoo. if you intend to use it, follow this guide.

just a note:

• blog feeds are: rss 0.9, rss 2.0, and atom. take your pick


• comment feed is here.

so just point your favorite RSS reader to the links above and you don't have to hit refresh every 8.5 minutes.

also, what i'm listening to is preserved for eternity here. if the list is updated, it means i'm online, but even if the list is updated, it does not mean i'm online because sometimes i just let my media player run all the time.

and if you're wondering about the lack of updates, well this is an update isn't it?
