gnome still not working properly on powerpc/testing



Hi,

I'm trying to run Gnome 2.2 on a PowerBook 17" running Debian Testing. It runs really slow and the panel never shows. The only way I can get X running is to start up an xterm and then run sawfish manually. I've tried running "gnome-session -failsafe" mannually and it is so slow. The splash screen takes a long time though recently it seems to be faster. Then it takes a long while for the icons in the splash screen to be displayed. Finally sawfish fires up and that is it. But I don't have the panel and the sawfish menus don't allow me to fire up apps, not even an xterm. HELP!!!

I've tried the following lines in my .xsession.
#/usr/bin/X11/xhost &
#/usr/bin/X11/xterm &
#/usr/bin/gnome-session -failsafe

I can't get it working. Could someone who has gnome 2.2 from testing working on a powermac please send me a copy of their .xsession and a list of installed gnome packages (eg. dpkg -l "gnome*").

Maybe I should try to install gnome 2.4 from unstable but I don't really want to do that yet.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
