Normal, the gnome environment is a mixture of different versions which are not supposed to work together.
But you can work with the panels.
The problem here is that there is a mixture between gnome 2.6 and gnome 2.12, so that there is no way to have the special locations recognized.
It is worth also to bookmark the /sw/bin location. Then you can use the terminal (an xterm is better than gnome terminal if you want to use accented characters) to launch those applications which are not in the prefix/share/applications folder.
In the case of an application not in share/applications, use the contextual menu on whichever panel and choose Add to.../Launch from..., type the name of the application or use browse to go to prefix/bin and click on icon to pick the icon you want (by default it goes to prefix/share/pixmaps, but you can enter any other location).
You may want to also bookmark the prefix/share/pixmaps folder in case you need an icon for a gui application which is not in the share/application folder and pick the one you want provided that it is not already used for another application you might want to use. At worse you can edit an existing icon with gimp, put in in your home folder under for example ./images or whatever and associate it with the application as explained above.
You may launch nautilus (put it in a panel). From then choose the bin bookmark in bookmark menu. Click with your cursor on the right panel (where you see all the applications) and type quickly gnom. Your cursor will probably be located on gnome-about. Scroll down slightly and you will see all the gnome... tools. You may try some of them in a terminal. That will allow you to change some settings.
As for the applets, they work. Put the ones you want in a panel with the contextual menu.
For all elements (except menus) in a panel, you can customize them using the contextual menu and choosing properties. |
