It's not really a 'centos-development' type question, so it's not really on topic here. It would be more appropriate on the general mailing list. It's something I'm reasonably close to though, so if you'd ask your questions there, I'd be happy to try to help. > > I've got it to the point where when I log in I get top and bottom panels, > and desktop wallpaper.

It was built in epel-devel against the beta I believe, which has a bit of turn-over from the rc and the final code we're building against for the open qa builds. It may be that it simply needs to cycle through the build system again. > > I did log on epel IRC and talked with "wolfy" about it, but he didn't have > any firm answers (several good suggestions, though). > If you can ask on the main mailing list, I'll try to help as best I can. Worst case, it will give me something to point out to the MATE maintainer for epel that won't vanish like irc logs. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77
