1 I did a recent emerge -uDNav world and most of my gnome packages are 2.24
2 now.2 issues:
3 1) Logout, shutdown, restart commands from gnome menu don't seem to be
4 working. Nothing happens, no menu appears. Same goes for using the Power
5 button applet.

7 I can manually log myself out, of course, by doing "killall gnome-session"
8 but that can't possibly be the Right Thing (tm). :)

10 2) The Lock Screen command, however, works and sends me to my screensaver.
11 However, when I move the mouse and the password dialog reappears, the
12 background is the default green splashscreen that comes with a new user.
13 Weird. I don't know where to hunt to change the lock screen background, and
14 I was pretty sure it was supposed to just be gnome-screensaver with a dialog
15 on top.

17 3) While I'm at it, does anyone know a way to get the "random pictures"
18 screen saver to select a specific folder without making a folder mess in my
19 home folder called Pictures? I have my own sorting scheme of things and it's
20 getting to me, also I don't want all of my pictures flying out on the
21 screensaver ;D
