|
| 43 |
<p> |
| 44 |
Due to a major rewrite of <c>gnome-base/gnome-session</c>, saved sessions will |
| 45 |
most likely be lost because of a change in the format. |

<title>Brasero Disc Burner</title> |
| 52 |
<body> |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
<p> |
| 55 |
Starting with 2.26, Brasero (<c>app-cdr/brasero</c>) is the official optical |
| 56 |
media burning utility. It replaces nautilus CD burner |
| 57 |
(<c>gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner</c>) completely by providing an extension to |
| 58 |
nautilus that behaves the same way nautilus CD burner did and an application to |
| 59 |
do more advanced tasks. |
| 60 |
</p> |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
<p> |
| 63 |
If you are happy with Brasero after completing the GNOME upgrade, you may |
| 64 |
consider uninstalling <c>gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner</c>. |

<title>Pulseaudio integration</title> |
| 71 |
<body> |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
<p> |
| 74 |
GNOME 2.26 now offers a complete pulseaudio integration. Please note that on |
| 75 |
some hardware, enabling pulseaudio USE flag means that you will have to enable |
| 76 |
its support in other application using sound output (ie. mplayer). |

<title>gnome-desktop API changes</title> |
| 83 |
<body> |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
<p> |
| 86 |
Due to the GNOME goal of killing old libraries usage, gnome-desktop changed its |
| 87 |
API again. It should not break anything while upgrading but do not forget to run |
| 88 |
revdep-rebuild or emerge @preserved-rebuild at then end of the upgrade process |
| 89 |
and check that the old library is gone. |

<title>gnome-menus and KDE file-collision changes</title> |
| 96 |
<body> |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
<p> |
| 99 |
Due to file-collision between GNOME menus and KDE's own menus, |
| 100 |
<c>gnome-base/gnome-menus</c> was changed to use a prefixed location for its |
| 101 |
menu. If you are using a login manager and loose your menu, please re-select |
| 102 |
gnome as your session at login prompt. If you start gnome by hand, please |
| 103 |
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- to get your menu back. See |
| 104 |
<uri link="http://bugs.gentoo.org/256614">bug #256614</uri> for details. |

<title>Nautilus constantly restarting</title> |
| 127 |
<body> |
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
<p> |
| 130 |
With gnome-session rewrite, nautilus is consider as an insecable part of the |
| 131 |
GNOME desktop. Unfortunately, since nautilus exists when it does not handle the |
| 132 |
desktop, it will be automatically and immediately respawned by gnome-session |
| 133 |
resulting in an infinite nautilus spawning loop. See |
| 134 |
<uri link="http://bugs.gentoo.org/266398">bug #266398</uri> for updates on this |
| 135 |
issue. |

<title>gnome-base/gnome-keyring build failures</title> |
| 142 |
<body> |
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
<p> |
| 145 |
Due to changes in RPC code, gnome-keyring fails to build its API documentation |
| 146 |
and to pass its tests. These issues are tracked at |
| 147 |
<uri link="http://bugs.gentoo.org/272450">bug #272450</uri> and at |
| 148 |
<uri link="http://bugs.gentoo.org/267957">bug #267957</uri>. |

<title>net-libs/libsoup does not build with USE="-gnome doc"</title> |
| 155 |
<body> |
| 156 |
|
| 157 |
<p> |
| 158 |
During GNOME 2.26 development cycle, libsoup got split into libsoup and |
| 159 |
libsoup-gnome which contains GNOME oriented functions. The problem is that the |
| 160 |
documentation does not reflect this split so well. Progress is tracked at |
| 161 |
<uri link="http://bugs.gentoo.org/268592">bug #268592</uri>. |
