Maybe the OP had a 32-bit gnome app installed? Firefox is a perfect example of this (wish there were icons for both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions so one could choose which to launch). With NetworkManager though one can only run one or the other. I believe the default for all dual arch installs is to run the 64-bit version if installed, otherwise the 32-bit version. -Ross -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
