Re: OS X: I love/hate Leopard
THINGS I CAN'T FIX
x11
I can't get X11 working. It's a pretty big bummer. I want to use Inkscape and Gimp, and neither work. When I load Inkscape, I get an error saying "Inkscape requires X11, which is freely available from Apple's website for Panther." and two links saying "Get X11 for Panther" and "OK". I don't WANT x11 for panther. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
When I load the Gimp, it says "caching fonts" for a long time, and then loads TWO x11 apps, and then eventually says "application gimp-2.2 quit unexpectendly". No good.
Both these apps worked before installing Leopard.
firefox download stack
I've got this fancy download stack, and Safari dumps to it just fine. But I want Firefox to, too. Unfortunately, when I try changing the pointer in the firefox prefs to the download folder, I click the "choose" button and then nothing happens. The form is BLANK in the prefs, and I continue saving to the desktop every time.
I tried installing the newest firefox just in case, and no change.
ejecting/unmounting
Every once in a while, nothing will eject from my machine. I'll have mounted drives or network folders or whatever, and nothing will eject them. Not ctrl-click 'eject', not dragging to the 'eject' button on the dock. Nothin. Rebooting of course ejects them automatically, and then I'm fixed for a while. (Though not forever. I've had the error 3 or 4 times now.)
No big deal, just pretty buggy.
