Did you mail me on this before, and I forgot to respond, or was that
someone else?
#linuxhelp seems to suck, this is starting to become important
knowledge. /etc/xml/catalog is a directory of XML DTDs installed on your
system, GNOME needs this because it uses docbook xml for documentation.
Your catalog is empty because of a (now fixed) bug in sorcery that
allowed the file to be removed on dispels. Getting it to work again is a
bit tricky though, but i've found the following to work:
1. dispel docbook-dtd docbook-xsl scrollkeeper (and maybe yelp)
2. rm -rf /etc/xml
3. cast -r -c docbooc-dtd docbook-xsl scrollkeeper (and yelp if you
dispelled it)
after this i think stuff should work.

this is simple. just run gnome as normal, then in a terminal
pkill $old_wm; sleep 1; $new_wm
then log out and check the box to save your session.

I botched the gnome-utils2 spell, all it's BUILD did was set OPTS. this
is fixed in my latest update which should be available now.

This I have no good explanation for. All gtk+1 themes i've tried work
fine.

A cast --fix would rebuild galeon and fix this.

does XMMS use alsa directly and thereby suffer from the infamous
/dev/snd permission issues. This could explain why some things (using
OSS) works and other stuff don't. Another possible cause might be that
something is _actually_ blocking the device. lsof is your friend. try
removing the volume control applet from the panel and see if that helps.
