I have just completed a new install using the latest Install/Live CD 2009.02
I followed the Beginners Guide (exactly :) including the update.
I continued until I finished with install Xorg and Gnome.
After setting up .xinitrc to run Gnome I issued a startx to start Xorg and Gnome.
1. When clicking the "Users home dir icon" to launch Nautilus and browsing to test it, I then clicked the "X" to stop the app from running ( upper right on the window ) Nautilus crashed and Gnome restarted, cleared the desktop (refreshed) and generated a bug report to be set to gnome.org (via bug buddy).
I have personally not had that problem. What architecture are you on?
2. After installing Evolution ans running the app I made some errors when I initially set it up for my imap server. Clicking/running from the Edit->Preferences menu caused evolution to crash and generating a bug report. I can not use the Edit->Preferences menu at all, making the evolution installation worthless as I can not change any settings.
This is likely to be an evolution problem rather than a general Gnome problem. In my experience evolution is, unfortunately, broken on many distros.
How stable is Gnome on Arch Linux?
I've been using it since I installed Arch and have had no stability issues with it. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
