*compares Ximian's 1.0.1 script with Woody's 1.0.0
one*

I'm guessing the above is supposed to be in the
check_running() function... and they are identical
AFAICT.

Oh. Well, in that case it's no use to me, as that is
precisely the (only) problem that I'm having.

In my case, it was because potato didn't/doesn't have
Gnome 1.4, Mozilla 1.0, Gnucash, Gimp 1.2... and as I
already mentioned, I can't really upgrade to woody on
this machine just yet.

I can't say I've ever had problems with the Ximian
debs... in fact it "looks" and "feels" a lot better
integrated (interface-wise) than the default Woody
Gnome install IMHO.

/me grabs asbestos jacket...
